"The conveyor belt has slowed down. We just haven't been finding the players. "
There was no cat on the higher education rising stars (Fitzgibbon all stars)
4 Clare, 3 x Galway, Tipping, Limerick and 2 Déise.
Kilkenny are cat.

That's almost a full 15 returning to the squad either returning from their travels or injury so Gleeson should be happy, but it may be unfair on those lads who's soldiered through the NHL to let them go!

Quote from: lurganblue on March 21, 2024, 05:20:01 PMQuote from: gallsman on March 21, 2024, 05:13:33 PMEven getting signed for training camp would be huge. Make it as far as a practice squad during the regular season and you're already talking 6 figure salaries.
Talk that Zammit has 900k offers on the table for practice squads. I think I read 250k is the minimum.
Quote from: gallsman on March 21, 2024, 11:47:45 AMHis age is no concern for a kicker. They routinely play into their 40s.
He's not guaranteed a contract at all. It is extremely competitive and while 10 from 10 sounds (and is indeed) impressive, there'll be umpteen other college kickers who can and will have done the same. Kickers in the NFL would be expected to hit 95% odd of any kicks from less than 50 yards to avoid being cut.
Another matter is that not all teams are looking for a kicker. He may well get himself a contract, even for training camp, but he's not going to dislodge Justin Tucker ffs.

I think he's poor but as we all know Júrgen doesn't do bad transfers!

It is properly scandalous. Reducing car insurance and having roads fit for purpose are 2 issues that would please a lot of people if they were sorted
Pretty sure all these Insurance companies end up back with about 4/5 multi national huge companies.
I would doubt even London would have the clout to do anything about it, even if the will was there to do something, which there isn't.
Quote from: imtommygunn on March 15, 2024, 10:41:17 AMOur u20s have not been performing at A level in their previous age groups so I think it's a bit silly to not enter into the B or C competition.

Couldnt make the game but a forward line with joe mclaughlin, aodhan mcgarry, niall mcgarrell and cormac mckeown should be a serious outfit
Seniors are where probably expected with the few opting out, retirements etc
U20s would be more of a concern for sure.
I'd done a couple of trial games leading up to the start of the championship and its not for the lack of effort put in from what I could see, probably just beaten by the better team on the day?
Yeah as far as I am aware the preparations were good, which to me makes it even more worrying that we aren't beating Derry (No disrespect intended)
Is that the campaign over or do they still get into Leinster for the AI?
Derry are now in the Leinster B championship, Antrim could well be in an AI "B" competition or even lower down, my contact hasn't got back to me yet.
They aren't in any of them, they have decided not to enter and their season is over
Well then there would need to be a few more questions asked now if that is the case.
Would there have been anything to gain plying in an All Ireland B against the likes of Roscommon, Donegal etc ? Management nor players wanted to take part.
They have been training since November,some of them involved with CPC & GT in the Mageean & the GT players still on the go until this weekend. They have probably had enough
I don't think that there would be anything to be gained from this either.
My point was that questions would need to be asked with the level of preparation into this group that we are out at this point.

Quote from: NorthAntrim on March 12, 2024, 12:11:47 PMThats a shocking weekend for our hurling teams. Seniors depleated, 6 subs. U20s and minors beat by Derry. An u20b All Ireland wouldnt even be something to celebrate
Quote from: ck on March 10, 2024, 09:23:21 PMQuote from: bannside on March 10, 2024, 11:15:20 AMThis group have definitely had their share of hammerings over the years, and that being the case we are all to blame. Let's not put this at the door of the management or even the players, they're out there doing their best.
Here's the ironic thing...and it's only my opinion....we could get 4 or 5 county seniors from this squad. I've seen some year groups we get a lot less than that.
Potentially Manus McCrossan and Niall Hynds would be midfield (in this team) and two Cargin seniors Conan and Conchuir Johnston were also missing yesterday.Cargins Big Charley McCann will turn into a baller before hes finished.
Tiernan McCormick has a massive future in Saffron if he can develop a bit more end product to match the flying runs.
I'm not deliberately cherry picking here, yesterday was hard to watch, but there's a batch here that need our support not our derision.
Wise words Bannside.
The McRory Cup debate is a nonsense. Plenty of counties have very few players if any playing McRory Cup yet they compete at the top level. The issue starts and finishes with the clubs. Not enough quality players being produced. The easy answer doesn't exist. Its a numbers game along with old fashioned graft and hard work by good coaches who are in it for the long game.
