Presume the slagging of bringing lads in will stop once the big city bois start doing it year in year out?

It's a slippery slope imo. Only one team can win the county every year and you're potentially blocking the pathway of coaches in the club.

If a club can develop a bunch of players you think can win a county, there's an internal coach or two well capable of training them imo.

Fair points. Unless the GAA or Co Board regulate it it’s only going one way and that’s bringing lads in. With the average pipeline of management teams turning over every second or third year it’s a huge challenge to develop coaches though.

This I think is the real problem within teh county. All the efforts is put into developing players.....not enough effort put into developing coaches

Laochra Gael over the weekend had yerman Liam Griffin of the Wexford AI team in 96. The players were still emotional when they spoke about him. He certainly was able to bring out that "extra (and all important) 5% " in them.

Limerick had given Wexford a lesson in the league previously up in Kilmallock and had doled out some "intimidation". Once they knew their opponents for the AI final Griffin had gathered the squad together, went around man to man, and had them all buy into "there'd be no (more) intimidation". Ended up with Scanlon? getting a red card but despite going behind and getting a man sent off they didn't take a backward step and went on to win it.

The right coach can make all the difference alright.

I've expressed similar views. Developing coaches should be as much a priority for clubs as developing players.

Perhaps a rule requiring coaches to sit out for 96 weeks if they want to transfer to another club might address the issue?

It might, or alternatively, it might stifle someone who has the potential to make it as a top coach but just isn't getting a chance at his own club. He either has to grin and bear it, or else be out of the game for two years

Coaches should be from the club.

No games before mass on a Sunday.

A place should be reserved on the team for the parish priest and if he doesn’t hurl should get to nominate a member of the Catholic Church of his choice.

Back to the old format of ten championship.

Cork have a right to be at the top table of Cork Hurling.

City teams should breakaway and form their own senior hurling championship.

Modern day thinking should not be tolerated.

Operation lets lose as many volunteers as possible underway I see.
