Leinster Team 08

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


spudenator,probably the most accurate team posted on this thread but would agree with bagoballs about mcmahon.rooney is a good wing back but with micko and kearns moving him all over the place the last couple of years its hard to even remember him having a good game in that position.always liked mcmahon.a great attacking wing back.reminds me alot of damien healy.

Loyal, Brendan Murphy only played 1 game for Meath in this years championship and conceded 4 goals. Definitley not the best 'keeper in Leinster - would even have Aherne in ahead of him!!!

Daytona, its a Leinster team based on the best Leinster players, and John Doyle happens to be one of them, if you dont mind me asking, are you half Wexford or something?? You seem to mention Wexford a lot in your posts.

There is no bias in this,but everyone who has not picked Michael Ennis in their teams are just pure daft.He is arguably the best wing back in the game at present,him and tomas o'Se.I don't see too many wing backs scoring goals in the championship,Ennis has scored against Dublin and Tyrone who are both exceptionally good teams,yet he still managed to play his part defending,an all round class act

Footiemad, you are spot on there, he has it all as regards a wing back, great defender, strong, good going forward......definatly one of the best in the country, reminds me a bit of Rainbow in his prime, possibly more of a scoring threat though.

You are right footiemad...but he is wasted in the backs!Daytona...you have no arguement so you resort to slagging Meath?I was simply referring to your comments that Wxford's backs are better than Westmeath's...which they aren't!

1-Stephen Cluxton (Dublin)-no argument

2-David Henry (Dublin)
3-Kieran Gavin (Westmeath)
4-John Keane (Westmeath)

5-ennis(Westmeath)-i had picked morrissey from wexford here.(that team was based on leinster championship this year)
6-Brian Cullen (Dublin)
7-colm morris (wexford)

8-Shane Ryan (Dublin)
9-Ciaran Whelan (Dublin)

10-Redmond Barry (Wexford)
11-Jason Sherlock (Dublin)

13-Alan Brogan (Dublin)
14-Dennis Glennon (Westmeath)
15-Mattie Forde (Wexford)
