You can see the points there but 3 games in a month is not uncommon in any sport.
Plus they would be getting slogged in training and playing midweek challenge games any other year too.
Like there are lads who will say GAA players are fitter and better prepped that League of Ireland. They don't complain about games every week, plus the odd vup mstch.
It boils down to how they prepare too. These 'highly rated S&C coaches' obviously haven't moved on.
It will be pushed back a bit and tweaked. Like some counties won't start club championship for ages.
If they are successful they earn money to buy players. If GAA was like LoI Shamrock Rovers could buy Clifford.
GAA is a totally different model.
To which they are limited. An intercounty GAA manager has the pick of hundreds of players.
Injuries are part of sport. Only one team is going to win the all-Ireland, no matter how many players get injured.
