The infidel in exile

Tony Kelly, and DJ Carey wernt big men

Genocide Organ

No, but are you suggesting we have a DJ Carey or Tony Kelly? Of course, there's nearly always room for an ultra-skilful fast player, but they can't all be little lads. One is nearly enough.

I am in agreement, I suppose I should have suggested that Laois ( for whatever reason ), Don't have an abundance of big physical men, Colin Byrne has a Year or so of growth.
I don't know about Mark Dowling of Camross, whether he is on the panel, but he is Certainly a presence when he plays at 14. There are Countries that just, for a reason unbenonced to people in general, have Big men, Limerick, who also have a series gym workrate, Neath, Derry, Dublin due to population density, Fermanagh, Cork, and Kerry, and Tipperary.

100%. Kilkenny on the whole are just a bigger, stronger team for example. It's probably down to S&C but also having a bigger pick. More numbers means they can choose not to use the players of lesser physical stature.

There's probably plenty like Colin Byrne and Cillian Dunne down in KK, but they aren't within an asses roar of a county team.
