It might be time for Cork to step up, now that they have a Taoiseach again.

Very interesting D2 this year, the 2 that came down will want to bounce back up, but Cork and Louth should be pushing to go up as well. Westmeath a good side and well Meath could either win the league or go down neither would shock me that much.

Down very short odds are they not?

Hopefully the outcome will be as per those odds (at top of table anyway)

I was suprised Down were so short odds, particularly as we only have 3 home games.

I don't think we have the forwards to take advantage of the new rules, compared to the likes of Roscommon, although I'm looking forward to our 1st league game this year in the Hyde.

Having said that, I think the tap and go rule will suit most of the Down players. Interesting few weeks ahead

Dreadnought

I think Monaghan are very short odds. I think they'll find this year very tough

The location of games can affect your chances. Monaghan would likely beat Cork at home, but if playing them by the Lee then it would a harder assignment,

Monaghan have been showing well in recent challenges and have number of top young players looking to establish themselves. They should claim one of the two promotion spots.

The competitive championship performance against Armagh the All Ireland champions to be would be taken into account by the punters plus some momentum with winning the Tailteann Cup

Monaghan must be the oldest team in county fball. Most of the old hands bck another year.

twohands!!!

Seeing Cork at 2/1 to get promoted makes me immediately think there has to be some value in backing them to get relegated. Sherlock leaving the panel is a very bad sign given the lack of other scoring forwards in the panel. Beyond Hurley (who has a world of mileage on the clock and not a great injury history) you'd really wonder where the scores will come from to win games. Also I have a feeling the new rules won't suit Cork at all.

On what planet are Cork, Down & Cavan ahead of Louth right now???

Down are rubbish, with 90% tiny men
Cavan are Cavan
Cork are decimated from last year.

Blowitupref

Cork in 2023 reached the All-Ireland Quarter final and six months ago beat Donegal who many are tipping to win the All-Ireland now.

They should be in mix for promotion this is their team that started v Donegal

Chris Kelly; Kevin Flahive, Daniel O'Mahony, Tommy Walsh; Maurice Shanley, Rory Maguire, Matty Taylor; Ian Maguire, Colm O'Callaghan; Paul Walsh, Seán Powter, Brian O'Driscoll; Mark Cronin, Brian Hurley, Chris Óg Jones.

Only one of those names not on their panel this year as far as I know is Kevin Flahive who's taken a year out to go travelling.

Would have had Cork and Louth on a similar level, didn't know they were losing lads. Good side with some very good forwards. Agree on the rest.

Has Liam Kerr from Down gone to Oz/US for the year? Some loss if so.

The NFL is really sneaking up on us without fuss or publicity.
You'd miss th'oul FBD as it got us thinking about the County game again, experimental lineups who's in who's out etc etc.
No one knows how these new rules will pan out, will they make a farce of the League,  will they suit some teams more than others  and so on
We're hoping we can repeat 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022 by getting up after 1 season and winning the cupeen as well.
