Paudie Quinn was down on the bench for ye in a friendly and then in the following league game. Thought ye took him on loan.

It was Stephen Quinns brother ye got from Monaghan.

I assume that Limerick are going to be bringing in quite a few players; are all of the above deemed surplus to requirements or what?

I expect us to struggle to attract players with Limerick offering better wages tbh.

Jaysus ye are like a cult down there!

You're deluded if you think Limerick will be offering better wages than Cork.

The most attractive thing about Limerick wages at the moment is the ability to pay them.

Killian Brennan to Drogs anyone hear anything? I thought he was on more then a one year deal myself.

Also heard Marc Griffin could be heading to Limerick.

[QUOTE=Dodge;1637888]Managerless Rovers sure are being linked with a ton of players..

Can't see why any player would want to decamp to Whitestown Way after the season past. Get the next appointment wrong and it's back to the wilderness. Note to Rovers Board: be careful what you wish for ...

Same reason most players sign for clubs a) money and/or b) its near their home

**Quayman** · 24/10/2012, 6:50 PM

Derek Foran supposedly off to America when season ends.

Are you for real?
Even after a woeful season, the Hoops are still be a bigger draw than most and with the apparant clear-out on the way, there's a multitude of players who would gladly want to be part of a resurgent Rovers team.
Believe me, there'll be no shortage of options for a new gaffer.

**Mark** · 25/10/2012, 12:35 PM

There's plenty of Dublin lads around the country who would happily join Rovers if it gets them closer to home - even if Hooperman is manager next season.

Seen Eddie Gormley on the sideline for Bray on MNS, and he did the interview afterwards, what's his role at Bray now?

Finn and Kilduff are the only players contracted past November, as far as I know. Finn until 2014, Killer until the end of next season.

edit: both until the end of 2014 actually

Same as his role everywhere else; Supreme being, overseer and Lord God almighty

Think its 10 in total including mcCabe, Dennehy and a number of young lads like Pieterese and Shannon

**Charlie Darwin** · 25/10/2012, 4:05 PM

McCabe is definitely out of contract in November and as far as I know he hasn't signed a new deal yet. You may be right about the younger players though.
