Rhubarbs v Stealers

[macdanger2]

Odds of 1/6 and 9/2 seem to favour mayo a bit more than they should. I'd have it more around 2/5 and 5/2

Whats the handicap?

[Syferus]

We'll be lucky to field a team

Odds about right macdanger. Was just looking at the championship competitive 1-9 to 0-13 meeting of just three years ago today, the turnover in starting 15 players by Roscommon is remarkable.

D O'Malley; S McDermott N Carty N Collins; C Cafferkey N Daly R Stack; C Shine K Higgins; C Cregg D Shine D O'Gara; I Kilbride S Kilbride C Murtagh.

All those in bold are gone with only Ian Kilbride to return for this years championship. Basically Roscommon are back to square one building a new team, I think division 2 or 3 is the place for that and not division one against seasoned,experienced and physically strong sides like Mayo.

[Syferus]

Our starting 15 is better now than it was three years ago.

Which is it Syf? The team you can barely field or is there another team?

Can't it be both?

The current Roscommon starting 15 is a experimental model. Young lads thrown into key positions on the team at 1,3,6,8,9,11,14 in the hope they can swim in the shark infested waters of division one.

There's nothing experimental about it. They're the best players available to us. Besides Featherston and O'Rourke and the goalie all were starters last season. I don't know what's experimental about playing a 28 year-old Kevin Higgins at 9, or Enda Smith and Fintan Cregg at 14/11, either.

Very much experimental mode as no guarantee that the likes of Lavin,O Rourke,mullooly,Featherston will be starters in those positions this time next year. Kevin Higgins is one of Roscommons most experienced players but he's unlikely to play Saturday after injuring his knee against Donegal. Regardless of what number Enda Smith,Fintan Cregg wear they play most of their football at wing half forward.

That view will hold more weight if on Saturday night can Roscommon get within one point of Mayo and hold them to just 13 points.

Remains to be seen or proved.
Mind you if we don't need the 3 Dalys we must be effing brilliant altogether.
McHale and Mullooly spinning very positively in this week's Herald.

It's going to be a massacre

They haven't. Fintan was a third midfielder most of last year, whereas Enda regularly lines up at FF for club, college and county. It's disappointing that your knowledge of players is that poor past knowing a few names, to be honest.

Not sure what is worse your lack of knowledge of where the Roscommon football players play or your eyesight. One of the few games Fintan Cregg played as midfielder was against Mayo last year and he was totally out of his depth there. His position is wing half forward.

I have watched a fair bit of DCU over the last few years either midfield that didn't suit him or wing half or corner forward is where Enda Smith played, i never seen him play at FF for DCU his fellow rossie Harney BTW has played more often at FF for college,club and the senior county team but again he's probably more suited further out the field.
