How many players under Taylor did we hear we lost to other clubs for one reason or another where as Martin has delivered on the likes of O'Flynn, Lynch, Djillali, Greene. Martin might not have signed gamble or Duggan but as a whole he has brought in bigger bulks of decent players.
Paul O Connor, Lee Jay, Hall, Greene, Mullhall, O'Flynn, Clarke, Faherty, Turner, have all done pretty well for us. Scully brought in Gamble and Bradley but no much other real quality around that in my opinion. Even Gaffney was like a new player under Russell that time even though he was already with us.
