Notwithstanding their dip in the Allianz League, there's no evidence that Dublin have dropped back. Granted, they haven't been tested in another season of (so far at least) craven capitulation by two Leinster rivals, but we can only judge on what we've seen. At the start of play, running order for the pursuers was as follows: Kerry, Tyrone, Mayo, Galway, Donegal, Monaghan. GAA NewsletterKerry, Mayo and Tyrone topped that list pre-championship, but far from enhancing their credentials, the latter two have lost ground. All the signs are positive for Donegal, much less so for Tyrone, Mayo, Galway and Monaghan.
