Replying To Afinestick96:  "Does he have the potential to be a championship starter for us in that case ?"
Could be, think he played full-back for Kerry too and that's been a problem area for us in the last while

Don't think he's played for Kerry since 2021 for whatever reason

Replying To ElGranSenor:  "Just want to check on here for confirmation but Tomás O'Connor from Davidstown who came on at the end of the Dublin game was once Kerry captain, is that correct?"
Yes

Replying To WexMurph:  "Kevin Foley has to be nailed on, one of the best players in the team if not the best. Would love to see him get the armband he deserves it and still eager to play Walsh cup games leading by example."
Agree 100%, but he needs to be fresh for the championship this year. Most years recently he's played every League game and looks a little jaded come championship.
Not sure how Keith wants to go about that, but does he really have to play all the League games? Hes 30 years old.

Not sure. He has the League to make that case, if he's showing well in training.

I would say when the likes of Jacko and Chinner come back Kevin may be rested as part of rotation through the league. We will need our best 15 available against the Dubs and Clare however. Any idea who we are likely to have back in the squad and fit enough to play when the league kicks off again on Saturday week?

Reading that article he was corner back on the Joe McDonagh team of the year in 2020 so I think that shows if he has potential to be a good player for us and I think he's still only 27

That would mean more than being Kerry captain, as far as I know Kerry still operate the old system like Kilkenny, where the county champions nominate the county captain.

Talking to a friend who was at the practice match in carlow. Granted a practice match. He was to send me on what he think was the team. Conor foley at 6. Oisin pepper,wickam,French.corey. he said kk gave half a game to richie reid,deegan, donnelly and shane murphy who would be deemed near starters. Two missed penalties would of put a better completion on the scoreboard. He said kk won by about 14 points but they had someone like John donnelly to come on and get a few points. Everyone in the county knows this is a rebuild especially if jippo and conor mac don't commit. The most optimistic wx supporter is dreading the day lee retires. The show will go on without him but its important as many players can be blooded this year. Div 2 will give keith the chance to blood players and it won't be the cut throat of div 1. Dublin and clare will give management a idea where the team is going. The friend was a bit dejected driving back to wexford after a bad enough beating but finishing in the top 3 something that hasn't happened for a few years has to be number one target. The players aren't there at the moment but underage hasn't exactly being that successful. Kk at least were getting bet in u20 and minor finals. Daveys team was backboned by leinster u21 winners Liam dunne had started to blood so I'd be calling on the county board to go back to the start and try win leinster at minor and u20
