In things that'll never happen, it would be nice to see McKernans directness given a go at 11

I can see where you're coming from but players like that are often better coming from a deeper position. I remember Armagh tried it with Aaron Kernan and it never really worked albeit they are slightly different players.

McKernan was our best player by a distance last season. His injury was a disaster for us.

McKernan has been our best player by a distance for the last 2/3 seasons. Arguably should have got an All Star before now

I think it's important you try and use someone like McKernan where he's best and for me that's at wing back with a license to drive on and kick scores. He can play all across the backline but that's where he get the most value from him. That Devlin is now emerging as a sticky marker should allow us to release McKernan in that situation.

It's v difficult to pick a team that will start v Kildare. Orourke be keen to get a few returning injured lads game time plus rewarding a few lads who have done well. Think the first number of games will be difficult but by end of league hopefully we will see where we are at
