Well because they maybe think that they will get their game and more so because it is accepted that when they sign there is an understanding that they will not be committing for the season...this is just an opinion and i am aware that it happens in every club...the point im trying to make is that things may be good out there at the moment but it may soon fade...and it has been the way in Rineanna that they start better in the league than they finish. They could have won a few leagues had this been rectified. I would like Planners to join in the discussion as i would like to hear his views...
No First, as you can see Planners was given the coveted No.6 jersey and was in the dressing room for the half-time team talk yesterday so he wasn't involved in the half-time showboating that has become the highlight of many a Rineanna game over the last season or two.
Good win for the Rovers, that's them with a guaranteed place in the FAI Area Cup Final this season
In my opinion the start we have had is on the same lines as the 2006 / 2007 season - we didn't have too many hurlers then - when you look at it we have played 2 games in the MJ - 4 in the FAI and 5 in the league - the league started Aug - at this stage NOF had blind intentions of winning the Cannon cup- these players hadn't signed / played for us in the first 4 league games - then the FAI and MJ kicked off , its a good way of giving other players a run out - lads , at the end of the day these hurlers are training away with us and do deserve a chance to break in as much as anyone else -
In relation to your opinion on the understanding of not commiting - any manager would play week to week and would expect an honest commitment , the majority of managers pick a team on ability and training attendance , getting a nice mix would be perfect but this isn't always the case - the same can been seen at your club -
To say there is an understanding is a bit off the wall and I'm not going to rise to it -

So you dont think that there is an understanding that when some of those players sign that both the manager, the player and the team know that this is a short-term commitment. It would be ideal for a manahger to have a squad full of just soccer players but in reality these type of players are needed. In Rineanna it is your most important players that will not be available when the hurling starts up whereas in other clubs this does not appear to be the case. Would you not agree?
And I am not trying to rise you, merely sparking a conversation about a topic...
LL - lets be realistic here , every club knows what they are getting when the GAA lads sign - and you have basically said the same in your post in that it would be ideal to have a full squad of soccer players , I disagree with your statement of them being the most important - we have a fairly large squad with only 5 GAA players - this leaves 17 + lads that are more than capable
Take a look at your own club - there are 4 GAA players , all quiet capable of making the starting 11 , when they FO will that be the down fall given the stregth of ye're current squad ? IMO i don;t think so by the way , allowances are made when you take on GAA players - is it wrong ?? - - in some ways but given the distance that the NOF hurlers got I don't think they'll be in a rush to get back training in Feb for a Chanpionship match in Aug![]()
