Tiernan McCann called back up as well. Panel of 48 at present to be cut to 35 for the National League.

Fair play to Tiernan if he's gone back to trials and training panels, would be easy to say no entering mid 30s and with a couple of years having your freedom back, but it shows how much he values the jersey and if he could play a part even as supporting cast for a year or 2 i'm sure it would pay forward setting a standard and guiding younger players coming through, even if he doesn't make the 35 i'm impressed he's rolled the dice

Its important to keep Petey, Matty, Morgan and McCurry as long as it works for all while newer lads come through from recent U20 batches, lads on the bench/training group need club games if they aren't getting minutes for the county, that'll be a hot potato with the stared system, hopefully a solution can be found, even just base on minutes, player x has played 0 competitive minutes in 5 months ... release to club for league games, i'm sure they do similar with the international rugby team balancing between province and national teams

No harm but Danny Fullerton is 10 times the forward Quinn & McShane are. Don't know why Burns is down as a number 12. Is him & Meyler not finished? And as for Cassidy, would he not be better off helping the 'Donaghmore in bloom' crowd.

Good positive post with a bit of club bias thrown in. If them players all commit the squad will be massively stronger than last year. I think Tyrone will also benefit from the rule changes as have some great inside forwards who will thrive with that wee bit more space. Still doubts over fitness of some key players from 2021 but with the returning players and u20 players coming through the squad should be able cope better if some of them do struggle.

After hearing all these reports about Fullerton - From watching him in championship he didn't look county standard

Was more focusing on the call ups that have happened and existing squad members. For the record I expect a few Under 20 call ups after they finish - Conor McAneney, Ben Hughes, Callum Daly, Conor O'Neill and Ruairi McCullagh being the obvious ones in my opinion.

[imtommygunn]

Where does Ruairi Canavan fit? He seems more of a half forward than a corner forward but then county teams seem to be more about workhorses than more skilful footballers in the whf positions these days.

In that case is he worth a run at 11, Tyrone have never really properly had a player nail down 11 since McGuigan hung the boots up?

4 shooters up front, Darragh and McCurry nailed on, a plethora of others to choose from and Ruairi must be near the front, anything reminiscent of the Adrian Cush role in the half forwards would be delightful and he looks well capable, 2025 a big year for him in Tyrone colours

McCurry, Canavan & Bradley inside with Ruairí pulling the strings at 11.

Ruairí is far better than that Adrian Cush. He actually steps up when he is needed & is a big game player. Ruairí has a bit of fight in him - he wouldn't run a mile if someone popped a paper bag beside him..

After hearing all these reports about Fullerton - From watching him in championship he didn't look county standard

Your argument is invalid on Fullerton (22 years of age), no harm. Mark Bradley was the only forward in Tyrone that had a good championship - Eoin McElhom too maybe. Fullerton kicked more in the championship against Dromore & Killyclogher (2 top sides) than Darragh Canavan did against Pomeroy & Clonoe (2 poor sides).  Danny was also man marked by the other teams best 2 defenders with a sweeper in front in the games against Dromore & Killyclogher. During the league he hit 3-09 against Clonoe & was even taken off in the 40th minute. Toasted Michael McKernan vs Coalisland. Finished 2nd Top Scorer in the scoring charts & would have been 1st if Ardboe hadn't have fielded their minors on last day of league vs Dungannon with Paul Donaghy scoring a hat-trick of goals. Fullerton only going to get better.
