A good few Leinster counties that get walloped by Dublin year have bigger populations than Mayo, Donegal, Kerry, Tyrone to name a few. Such counties also would be perceived as "wealthy" counties with not as much immigration as western counties. I think it's fair to say a few could be doing better but that's just my opinion and I could be wrong.

So, help me with your next steps here. After the Bottom 16 qualifiers, you'd have a Top 20 (with say, 10 games each) and a Tier 2 of 12 (with say, 11 games, or regional 2x6, 10 games each). Presumably you have promotion from Tier 2 ? Say, Finalists go up to guaranteed 16 Tier 1 spots in the following year (after playing an easier schedule), while displacing 6 teams from current year Top 20 (who played a tougher opponent mix) ? Only difference seems to be that the Lower 12 can play for a Tier 2 trophy ? omahant (USA) - Posts: 2533 - 11/04/2021 05:14:08 2336815 Link 0 |
True but alot of the those counties are getting to the stage where they are humiliated and damaged psychologically (in a purely sporting sense) by constant beatings from the Dubs. Any momentum, feel good factor, positive vibes, good work in training or whatever is wiped out every year in Leinster. Mayo, Kerry, Donegal etc don't have to live with that and get provincial success from time to time. Although we are probably getting to the stage where Mayo and maybe some others don't really believe they can beat the Dubs.
