Would be interesting to see a break down of the number of injuries picked up by the county squad during county training as opposed to club league games? Just as a tol for comparing.

Cant agree more, we need to get back to a situation where the players are playing regularly and in a competition of value.
Question is any ideas of how to make the league meaningful again after years of neglect?

Also I would be looking at the structures all the way down the ladder because if we dont get that right then we are going to be continually having this debate in years to come. (And to that end Skulls last post is certainly not a step in the right direction)

OM that wasnt the best point ever scored, nice stylish point but not near the best.

Last Man in all honesty I think you have hit the nail on the head as to what happened with him.

As for the NA select that is disappointing but not overly suprising there should be more of a push going on this than there currently is.

Thats cool Hatchfield but that was the case that he was more or less forced out. He blows very hot and very cold and that was a failing throughout his county career and maybe why managers found it difficult to rely on him consistently. No doubt a complete and utter talent with stick that would be unrivalled anywhere in Ireland.

Hatchfield lets just make the other thing clear as well Tosh was made to feel like he was surplus to requirements and in S&W's eyes he was because they saw all these great minors coming through from their minor teams to take his place. Now tell me if they have replaced him suitably?

Hatchfield maybe you didnt have that much to lose.

I agree with your sentiment about McKilop just think you picked the wrong player to make it with. I think that show the genuine lack of depth to the panel in all honesty.

Hatchfield
I think you have just lost all credibility when calling for McKilop to be used!  ;)

Also Tosh was told he wasnt needed wasnt a matter of him not making himself available.

MR is right he didnt pick himself.

The managers should hold their hands up on that one, the lads didnt perform in all honesty but the fact is that we should be competing better than we did on sunday and I mean in a physical sense we should be giving everything and flying into tackles which we werent.

Skull best not to think of that one or you will end up rocking back and forth in a padded cell

Sure going by the papers and tv he was ready for the big stage and it wouldnt phase him playing in croke.

Do we think S&W will stay on after some of the reports earlier in the week?

Can someone post up the article that Loughnane did in the Irish Star on saturday, I didnt see it but i think he was very tough on the squad.

The league as we know is poor enough but in my mind these players should be dominating their own clubs and should be the main men and driving force for their teams. Even in a bad league good players should be standing out and putting back to back performances in for their clubs, however there seems to be an attitude that the county players are too good to play in the league games. In the matches I have seen so far this year it would trouble anyone to pick out the county players from club games.

Skull dont get me wrong I wasnt putting any preconditions on the question or on your answer and I take your answer the way it was meant.

But that is part of my point that very few of the boys have actually proved themselves in club hurling let alone county hurling to have some of the ego's that they have.
