Quit making shit up u knob. If anything Harte has been to good to him keeping him  on the squad the amount he's been injured.

It is hard to tell on here sometimes if people are ignorant or on the wind up. I hope in this case it's someone on the wind up.

Harte has had McKenna on the panel for around 6 years and he has played plenty of times without ever showing enough to nail down a place. In 2014 he started the first round of Ulster at full forward v down without scoring. I think he came on in the replay and got a point. I'm nearly sure he started full forward v Armagh in the championship that year, don't think he scored much.

Come 2015 he had played good bit in McKenna cup in full forward line and started first game of league before injury. He has struggled with injury since which is the reason he hasn't played nothing to do with a dislike of his family (as much as you'd like that to be the reason).

McKenna is a good player but has yet to really bring underage or club form to the county in either league or championship. I'd really like to see the lad get fit and get another go at it though, cause he has plenty of football ability. Hopefully he gets a few good months training behind him and proves to be a real option for full forward line next year.

All this talk about Mc Kenna. The question is who is the best full forward in Tyrone club football?

Lot of teams play a two man full forward line these days so the question is probably who is the most effective in the full forward line. In that case on the current year probably mark Bradley by a distance. McNulty from Clonoe got a few goals and was decent at the frees but struggled against hanpsey over two games and pace at county level could be an issue.

I personally think Dan McNulty has more about him than Niall McKenna and im dissapointed he didnt get a call up to the senior panel.
McKenna has seen plenty of opportunities over the years, i feel he never looked good enough in those opportunities.
In terms of the players called up, only McCullagh, McHugh and possibly McClure represent options in the full forward line. That suggests to me Harte intends to continue with the quick counter attack transition football and not moving towards more men in the full forward line and kicking the ball in.

Interesting to see this debate. Has had a horrible few years of injuries and there's many a time it might have been easier to let him go.  For all the club minutes he has played in 2 years his scoring return is phenomenal.  He needs lots of football club and county. I'd say 10 weeks of games, but if you want a big scoring full forward alternative and mc Kenna is match fit. He will get in there and do a great job and is unrecognisable from where he was 3 years ago. Class act.

McKenna is a decent player when fully fit but hardly a class act.
