Many in the club see his future in the forwards. More specifically as an 11.

Saw him play full-forward for Knockmore at minor level and while he was good and a very good outlet, it was a move borne out of necessity and there's little doubt to me that his future is in defence. Centre-half back in time, as Foreverhopeful mentioned.

Boys, where's she being played? I assume it's not Castlebar, what with the renovation work...

Apparently it's still in Castlebar from what I've heard, The should have most of the ground work out by then and they'll have the two ends behind the goal open and the most of the McHale Road side. Should be more than enough for a league game.

Anyone know if any of the absentees - O'Neill/Dooher/McGinley/McMahon - will be considered for this?

Is Ricey's suspension up too?

Riceys suspension will be up. McMahon was able to come on the another night so must be in contention. There's very little word on Dooher or O'Neill. I assume there's no chance of Dooher playing, is there even any talk of him doing any serious training? I'd like to here some talk soon of him being fit enough to train.

It'll be good to get a look at the 'new' ground, looks pretty impressive what i've seen of it. Ballix of a journey from Belfast via Dungannon to pick up the lads but we always enjoy playing Mayo away

Always good games and probably worth it but I sympathise. Dungannon alone the guts of 3 hours via Skillen. Did that trip bot too long ago. About Dooher. I d love to see him playing again in Mayo. Legend. 13 years after Martin o Connell was canonised for walking on his head he s working towards another Championship. Hope he gets there. He s an inspiration.

i would be very surprised if dooher makes it for the game against mayo to be honest,think he has a way to go yet

On the Mayo side of things apparently Nallen, Heaney and Aiden Higgins have officially rejoined the panel and Howley is also back in full training. Does anyone else reckon we could field 15 half backs come Championship

By my count we now have 10 or 11 in the panel at this stage and Keith Higgins has yet to end his holiday in Oz

From the Irish Times:

In the meantime Harte's championship panel is taking shape. Brian Dooher is due back soon; Brian McGuigan is already back; and Justin McMahon, Joe McMahon, Enda McGinley and Stephen O'Neill are also over the worst of their recent injuries.

Eoin Mulligan is also likely to be extra fit for the championship as he is running the London marathon on April 26th to raise funds for Southern Area Hospice.
