I might just get to see my first game using the ELVs in the NH this weekend. That is, if I'm not selected, otherwise I'll be playing. Not looking forward to...

I'm an ex-forward who transferred to the backs due to too many concussions and too small a jersey size. My North Kildare teammates were none the wiser until...
