Ulster XV to beat Dublin

Bomber your arrogance and aggression is a big bit annoying

It's not arrogant when you're right.

I would agree with those two and Monaghan are more than a one man team. If you look through all the Ulster teams there are no standout midfielders. I would actually say Eoin Donnelly as good as any and bar mchugh O'Connell maybe best whb around Ulster. Ohagan definitely an excellent player. Burns still a bit young / raw and maybe gets more publicity because of the da though I think when he matures a bit he will be very good.

McKiernan is the standout midfielder in Ulster. After that there are a lot of very good players but no real standout players. Think McGee for Donegal has massive potential if he can stay fit.

Stephen McMenamin from Donegal impressed me in last years championship whenever I saw him. I Probably  haven't seen enough of him to include him, but another good year and he would be worth a mention.

I always rated Darren Hughes very highly, but maybe just not as influential as he was 2 or 3 years ago. Chrissy McKaigue maybe in the same boat. Brendan Rodgers had some great games for Slaughtneil over the past few years, but I cant remember the last time I actually saw a full 70 min Derry game.

Yeah Hughes has definitely slowed a bit but he was really good a couple of years ago. McKaigue and Rodgers are funny ones. Derry tend to play Tyrone who are too good for them so their defense gets swamped. That would be their main shop window county wise. At club obviously both outstanding.

Danny Quinn, Peter Canavan, Oisin McConville and Eamon McGee recently came up with an Ulster XV to beat Dublin.

They agreed on the following side:

1. Morgan (Tyrone)
2. R Wylie (Monaghan)
3. R McNamee (Tyrone)
4. C Cullen (Fermanagh)
5. E Ban Gallagher (Donegal)
6. C McKaigue (Derry)
7. K O'Connell (Monaghan)
8. J Og Burns (Armagh)
9. N Kearns (Monaghan)
10. R O'Neill (Armagh)
11. M Murphy (Donegal)
12. R McHugh (Donegal)
13. P McBrearty (Donegal)
14. C McShane (Tyrone)
15. C McManus (Monaghan)

4 Donegal and Monaghan
3 Tyrone
2 Armagh
1 Fermanagh and Derry

I'd go with the following

1. Morgan (Tyrone)
2. Hampsey (Tyrone)
3. McNamee (Tyrone)
4. Ban Gallagher (Donegal)
5. McHugh (Donegal)
6. McKaigue (Derry)
7. Mooney (Down)
8. McFadden (Donegal)
9. McKiernan (Cavan)
10. Donnelly (Tyrone)
11. Murphy (Donegal)
12. Campbell (Armagh)
13. McGuigan (Derry)
14. McShane (Tyrone)
15. McManus (Monaghan)

5 Tyrone
4 Donegal
2 Derry
1 Armagh, Cavan, Down and Monaghan

Mattie Donnelly has to be in there. I'd also have Peter Harte in the half back or half forward line ahead of any of O'Connell, O'Neill, Mooney or Campbell
