Hes got speed to take a man on over 5/6m going at him head on and going by him, he cant beat a man over 20/25m coming out for the ball and turn him and go him by.

Murray has beat too many men down that end line to be saying that, beat Jack Glynn and Johnny McGrath multiple times over 30m on a dodgy groin last year, set up a goal from one. Actual problem is getting him room and lads in scoring positions if he passes

I think he wins the ball out in front fairly regularly, if he's starting around 13m line I'm not sure I want him running 20/25m down the pitch to win a ball too many times in a game.

Maybe the fact that Derry don't kick it long that often could be swaying your opinion but in Murray and Loughlin we have 2 superb ball winners.
Personally prefer Murray getting the ball around 20m out heading towards goal and beating men at this point.

I'd set the spade down at this point  ;D

I'm not really sure what this argument is but when Murray is isolated and gets the ball one on one he is so fast and direct the defender has no chance it's a foul or a score.

I'm hoping there's lots of work going on to make sure that happens a lot in the Championship!

Wildweasel has let himself down a bagful. Murray is the very definition of a forward with power and pace to stand up defenders and beat them which he does consistently when he gets direct ball sent in.

Is that what i said or is it none of the full forward line can beat a man 20/25m to a ball hence why Derry are so reluctant to kick in long ball to the full forward line. Armagh kick long alot of the time because they put Conaty in there. I already said Murray can beat a man going at him and can go by him in 5/6m.

Lachlan Murray will get a laugh at least when this gets sent to him

Big score in the end. Did Sargent get a run out?

Not according to Score Beo.

Sargent wasn't listed in the 24 in the match program on the Ulster GAA website. And not mentioned in the twitter commentary.
Good wins for both the minors and the under 20s.
Minor team and squad seems to be a secret. haven't seen any information about them except scores.
