I think a fit murnin would be an automatic starter, however, given his injury record and games missed over the years I can't see him starting anytime soon unfortunately
I agree. I think that when he's fit, he's almost unmarkable when the right ball is put into him. But as we all know, his injury record is a real problem and I find myself watching him, waiting for him to pull up. What I find troubling about hamstring injuries or any recurring injury really is surely when you're coming back from training at some point you're going to have to test the injury to the same degree that you would in a game, so why then, when players are given the all clear to play, do they pull up again with the same injury? Hasn't that player being doing hard sprints in training and playing in house games to test it? Or are they just holding back ever so slightly in training, for the fear of re-injuring it, but then in a game, when you have to go 100%, the injury is only really tested then and fails? Either way, I'd love to see him back and a fully fit Ethan Rafferty, as I think they give our team another dimension.
On a side note, has anyone else noticed how McGeeney keeps naming the same team week after week and then there are a few changes on it? Why doesn't he name the team that is going to start? Not that it really matters. I wonder if it's just a box ticking exercise which he doesn't agree with, so if you are required to name a starting team, he just gives the GAA the same one every week, as a way of being thran!
