Retire to Longford?

Murphy admitted in the Newstalk interview he had agreed with Alan Gough as part of the deal he would only have to train once a week.

Even ignoring the fact he's going to a First Division club, that situation is completely unrepresentative of your average EL player so makes any comparison ridiculous.

But then again, who believes the GAA is amateur?!*

*Hint: I don't.

I'd rather be the dog than play a game of Gaelic Football in Archbishop Croke Park. Although, paradoxically, I'd say a dog is more suited to the basic GAA 'skills' of chasing, harrying, hacking and running around frantically than human beings are.
