Denis Hurley will get a fair land when he turns up tomorrow night and the gates of the stadium are locked.

You’d think he’d start a strong side for his opening league game as manager

1-9 is fine.

Good to see O Connor getting a start, think Bonnars time has come and gone but don’t tell that to any of the Lorrha/Dorrha media machine.

Surprised JMcG is back so soon after the achilles injury

It’s a real pity they’ve tweaked the league system. It was grand the way it was, if you were in 1A you were there on merit and if you were in 1B you were there on merit. Promotion and relegation was earned and merited.

Now you’ll have a lot of disinterested and half arsed teams just getting the games out of the way.

+1. The league system 2012-2019 was brilliant. Like with U21 and minor the GAA have changed something which was working brilliantly. The league has almost become an irrelevance in hurling now while it prospers in football.

The GAA love changing things that are working the finest.

Roscommon now 4/11 - no Tooreen starters for Mayo. Rossies were 2/1 this morning haha

[Julio_Geordio]

They’ll be short on subs so, what two clubs to pick from? And Toreen the best of the three by a country mile.

Still though, it’s only Roscommon

7 clubs there on the panel. Some lads haven’t a clue.

[Julio_Geordio]

Hard to judge, big drop in standard when you go down a league like Mayo did last year, but that’s a big loss of players obviously

[Fagan_ODowd]

I’m expecting fireworks from Paddy Dazio

A quick google says they have 4 senior clubs. Ballyhaunis and Toreen the king pins, with Castlebar and Westport making up the numbers.

The rest must be junior.

He sounds like he owns a chipper

Ah sure Carlow only had 4 senior teams in 2019 and they were hurling in the Liam McCarthy as reigning Joe Mcdonagh champs. They’re up to 6 senior clubs now though.
