Looks like a few lads getting the opportunity to stake a claim.
The 2 Brennans, Sludden, McShane and Meyler were nowhere near the team this time last year. Good to see ONeill back on the team. Keeping a bit if competition there also.

Did anyone get more than 6 of the team right?

I was way off with my selection, never easy second guessing Mickey (although to befair I was going on the basis everyone was available and he'd go with his strongest team).

Good to see Ronan O'Neill get a chance, would be delighted to see him bang 1-4 from play and really stake a claim!

If Aidan McCrory wasnt an Errigal man would he be on the Tyrone team?

Are u askin or telling us golden yrs. he gives it his all and that is good enough for me. He's better than johnny Monroe at the minute so he is

Just seen the Cavan team and it is a strong enough outfit and with conditions expected to get bad over next 24/36 hours then they will be a leveller and will suit the men in blue.

This maybe a lot tighter than people expect but I think we scrape him by 2 points - hopefully much more but a tight dogged affair wouldn't surprise me at all.

I see the U21s are out tomorrow too in Augher. I wonder will some of the named U21s be used there instead.

Man Marker · January 30, 2016, 02:57:59 PM

That is a decent team named, lots of pace and mobility, confidence is high to after the last month, tho Cavan have named a strong team

That was nt he question Red zone. McCRory is a good player (johnny better in my eyes) but in the role he plays for Tyrone I think we could get more scores out of a better footballer. He hasn't marked anyone in 2 years which is what he is good at. When jonnys injury clears you will see his potential hopefully. He is a complete baller

Yes Jonny is a fine prospect. I've only seen him play 5 times or so but I've seen aidy play 40 times. He wont win any all stars but u need boys like him about. Jonny certainly has the pedigree in him

Never seen worse

Aidan McCrory is well worth his place on the Tyrone team, all of this hate and this "if he wasnt from Errigal" is completely uncalled for.
Is his place secure? Absolutely not, probably the most as risk, but until Munroe, Hampsey, HP McGeary, Brennan etc. show they can perform consistently and against bigger teams on the big days (all well and good playing well McKenna cup or against weaker teams in Division 2) McCrory has done enough to warrant keeping his place in the 15.

+1

He's been a steady performer for us over the past two years and I think he's definitely improved in that time.
