Few articles recently touting Conor Cush for a Tyrone senior role. Anyone else emerging from the championship in with a shout?

Cush & Ruairi Canavan have another year with the U20's
Important they continue to develop with that side, but as a consequence they will both unavailable for the NFL. Cant see management thrust them into Championship action with no league football under the belt.
Your looking at 2024 before we see R Canavan and Cush in the seniors
Its been a pretty good championship but not too many have really stood out for me.
Emmett McNabb was there last year but didn't get a chance due to injury. Id say he deserves a good run at it
Joe Oguz was there last year as well but seems to have come on a bit, and may get a chance too.

I would be very surprised if he hasn't got a big role with the Seniors coming, so in my opinion his U20 football is finished. A Forward line of Darragh Canavan playmaking with Ruairi Canavan and McCurry playing off Mattie would be very exciting to watch.
Only way I don't see that happening is if they talk Mark Bradley back.
Championship wise not too many have stood out for a call up - Daniel Kerr Galbally has looked good but is he an improvement of what is already there in Emmet McNabb, Michael Conroy and Liam Nugent, probably not that much.
In terms of League form Paul Donaghy and Tiarnan Quinn would be worth call backs, probably the two best forwards in the league this year.

Monaghan first round 2023

Monaghan first round 2023

Not a bad draw. I've a feeling Monaghan will struggle next year.

What a summer!

That's class! Great to see the goal at the end of the final from that angle. It doesn't seem that long ago really.

Any more word on Conor McKenna's move back to Oz?

[Never beat the deeler]

Any more word on Conor McKenna's move back to Oz?

also keen to hear if anyone has the inside word on this.
Not a lot being reported here in Aus, rumours still circulating that a move to Geelong is on the cards.

He's definitely going. He was speaking with a few clubs AFAIK.

Apart from McKenna are we likely to lose many of these players?
Now that the championships are out of the way are there many put their hands up for inclusion?

Id guess its all smoke & daggers to get the best financial package. This will in all likelihood be his final AFL contract, and as he is available as a free agent, he has some leverage to use at the present time

From the games that I had seen the main players to stand out were the county men already on the panel. If there were to be additions to the squad you would imagine they would come from the u20s this year with the likes of Conway, McHugh, Cush to be added with the players already called up from last years team.

Will Paudie McNulty give the county another go next year? He suffered a horrible injury which was massively disappointing for him and meant he never got a run at it.

I would like to see more of Peter Teague in the league anyway. I don't remember him playing much league football for Tyrone last year. Was he injured?

A number of players could be looking at call ups: Nathan McCarron (Dromore) Aidan Clarke (Omagh) Neil Kilpatrick (Edendork) Ruairi Slane (Carrickmore) Tiarnan Quinn (Coalisland) Ryan and Dailey Jones (Dungannon)
Potential recall in the form of Paul Donaghy (Dungannon)
The hopeful return of Mark Bradley.
Players who have put themselves in a position for bigger opportunities in 2023: Joe Oguz (Errigal) Peter Teague (Dromore) Emmet McNabb (Dromore) Conor Quinn (Galbally)
Obviously then Ruairi Canavan.

Lot of players there to shake things up and freshen the panel and starting team through McKenna Cup, League and then Championship hopefully.

Conor McKenna returning to Australia. Ben McDonnell is going travelling.

Lot of dead wood around the panel looking at that list.

Will Richie Donnelly and Padraig McNulty bother to continue giving their injury record?
Is there much point in Johnny Munroe and Sean Loughran continuing to commit given their age and standing in the squad?
Are the likes of Matthew Murnaghan, Liam Nugent, Ryan Coleman, Conor Shields and Ryan McCusker wasting their time remaining on the squad for McKenna cup appearences?
