What's happened Packie that he isn't re-signing?

Yeah, would still expect to be strong enough, but a weird price considering the players not re-signed yet from last season.

Packie has retired, could definitely have played on imo, so we've just Robbie Hughes atm.

I'd still consider Finn Harps a much better prospect than Longford or Waterford.

The Waterford odds are ridiculous considering we only have half a squad. How can anyone judge on that?

I suspect it'll be quite tight this year. Doubt there'll be more than a fag paper between Athlone, Harps, Longford and ourselves. I don't think Youths will be that far off these four either. I'd probably have Athlone slight favourites at the moment.

These odds look like they were dreamt up by someone who just looked at last years final table.

That's exactly how the bookies will have calculated them.

I don't think Cobh are going to be the joint worst team in the division, I expect they'll be reasonably comfortable. Favourites for me would be Longford or Athlone. But as others have said I don't think there'll be much in it, and Waterford and Harps won't be a million miles off either.

Actually I've nearly covered the entire division there.
