Possible team for Sunday (based on rumour and hearsay)
Doherty (though King may step in if Doherty's injury hasn't cleared up)
Fitz
Hanley
D Burke
D Meehan
N Coyne (Blake very doubtful from what I hear)
M Comer (though Sice, my preference, may get the nod)
Bergin
Cullinane
N Coleman
F Breathnach
N Joyce
(Ja to be sprung; very bad half-forward line)
Savo
P Joyce
C Bane
Again rumour has it that Bane will be picked ahead of M Meehan on training form, though how anyone with any sense or knowledge of Galway football could think Bane is somehow better than Meehan baffles belief.
So there you have it; backs not bad, particularly if a fit Blake could start with Coyne moving sideways. Midfield very dodgy, though if they could distribute the ball as soon as they win possession the weaknesses could be off-set somewhat. Forwards so bad they could actually mither the opposition to defeat. N Joyce, Breathnach, Bane (and Coleman to an extent) have yet to show they have what it takes in c'ship fare.
