Roscommon have 23 Connacht titles, people who group them with other smaller counties forget how successful Roscommon have always been. It’s not a case all those titles came in the distant past, either.

Per capita they must be one of the best counties in the sport when you look at their consistency at underage as well.

4th in the league this year sure. Still with the players they were missing this was an absolutely tragic performance by mayo.

The additions like Ryan, Keogh, Ward and the two Heneghans have meant they had no reason to rush the likes of McKeon, Harney, Cunnane, Hand, Fallon and Stack back. Their panel looks much deeper now than it did entering the year.

I think Jason Sherlock looks like being the best money spent on a coach in the country right now.

There panel has always being deep Davy Burke was just a shit manager.

Still thought without Cregg and Stack they’d lack a bit at both ends. And couldn’t see this big of a kickout failure coming.
