Cork have strengthened, and Bolger will add some steel in the middle, they’ve done well in the last 2 years, but they need to win a trophy this season, or they will only be remembered as also rans. Rovers as always under Fenlon will be dangerous, I don’t see them being better than Dundalk, they will challenge Cork though and like them also need to get some silverware. I think Bohs will really challenge Pats for top 4, and with a good run themselves Pats might make the top 3.
