Laois go into the campaign minus a number of last year's squad for a variety of reasons and this certainly won't help their cause.
The likes of Padraig McMahon is gone travelling for the year, while Barry Brennan, Robbie Kehoe, Denis Booth, Daithi Carroll and Mark Timmons have all opted off the panel.
Throw in the fact that Donie Kingston has yet to return to the fold and Laois could be faced with an uphill struggle in the league, starting with Saturday night's clash against Mayo. Tweet
