I accept that once club leagues are given the go ahead they need to start, absolutely. But if clubs are going to be with out their county players until the county season is over then there can’t be relegation again this year. Feasibly Tyrone could make the All-Ireland Final, which means no access you your county players until September. Potentially say club league starts in June, that’s maybe 12 round of league games without your county men. For any team with a player, let alone 4/5 on the panel that’s an unfair disadvantage and almost a punishment for providing the county team with your players.
Ordinarily starred system works fairly well here, but cant over that length of time.
