Ahead of this weekend Gaelic football and hurling action, Cathal Mullaney is joined by Dessie Dolan, Damian Lawlor and Liam Sheedy.<\/p>\n
Cathal, Dessie and Damian look ahead to an Allianz Football League weekend where arguably the Division 2 action outstrips the top tier, with Cork and Meath of particular interest.<\/p>\n
Dessie reckons Cork need to put together a consistent 70 minutes to compete with a Meath team who have been turning heads.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the lads assess Darragh Canavan’s loss to Tyrone, Armagh’s keeper conundrum and Kerry’s motives as they head to Croker to take on the Dubs.<\/p>\n
Also, with kick-out ‘piggery’ supposedly ruling the game, Dessie says a player of Paul Galvin’s quality would be worth an astronomical value.<\/p>\n

Liam Sheedy joins Cathal in studio (36:45) to preview the weekend’s hurling.<\/p>\n
The All-Ireland winning Tipp manager backs Kyle Hayes to fill the centre-back position for Limerick in the long term as the game comes to terms with the value of a sitting 6 versus a deep 11.<\/p>\n
Waterford will give a good test to their neighbours Kilkenny, who are looking to fill a few positions.<\/p>\n
After some good performances with no reward, Galway are in need of a result against Offaly.<\/p>\n
In Division 1B, Lee Chin’s return is just in time for the trip to Croke Park, with Wexford dealing with a dearth of leaders, while Clare seem to be getting the old gang back together for one more heist.<\/p>\n
