"In hurling, more so than football, this time of year there is no similarity to what we see in May, June and July. It's all about trying to get your timing right and not to overdo it in these months, in this weather.

"The pace of the game in the Munster Senior League is probably 25% of championship, in my opinion. The league would be more like 50-75% depending on the stage of it.

"That extra 25% comes once championship starts and pitches are better, everything is faster. Can guys can adapt to that, not just physically but also mentally, in terms of decision-making, instinct and having the character to do it?

"There is a strong case to maybe extend the championship into league or extend the championship when hurling is at its best, from the middle of February right up until July/August when we see the best players playing in the best conditions, more often than we do at the moment. Rather than in January when there is a huge amount being asked of them."

Every hurling county should have a minimum of 1 5g full sized pitch

Every province should have a minimum of 1 Dome similar to what they have in Connacht

That resolves the issue of early or late season games being played or delayed

Make the League more meaningful than what it currently is

Intercounty season jan-July

Club August-December

Laois decent win today... Wexford do start slow pre season but still great win

Yes, it was a decent win. They had their noses in front most of the way, and just held on - Rowland pulling off a great save after Chin set up a good chance at the end. Rowland then sent over a long-range free to seal it.
Seemingly, Wexford had 9 debutants starting, while Laois only started two. However, Laois must've brought on 8 or 9 subs, which was way more than Wexford - and at least a couple of them debutants, too. They worked hard, tackled well, and deserved the win. Of course, as we all know, Wexford at full-strength would be a different proposition. But, we'll take it all the same!

.

Be some loss if he is off the panel, is a cracking player, was benched a few times last year I think, probably tough to meet all the demands that's been laid out for them, but if you are hungry enough for more it shouldn't be an issue.

You are a long long time not playing the best game in the world, plenty of time after the boots are put away to enjoy the other things in life!!

You'd hope he wasn't on the team holiday through his own choice. Be bad form if he didn't travel due to been dropped from the squad for the incoming year.

I think there's an ongoing matter to be resolved before it will be decided if he's able to rejoin the panel.

what did he do are they keeping it quiet.

Are the rumours true about a physical altercation with a Munster rugby player?

Not the first Limerick player to get in a scuffle. One of them was in a row after the Munster final last year.

And was dropped off the panel right away.

There may be legal proceedings afoot with this other one allegedly.
