Replying To CARPS: "Sean Murphy and John Murphy are definitely good enough. Kyle Nolan has potential."
Shame that they're kicking ball then. You havent been far off being a solid Liam McCarthy side the last few years, an extra 3 starters would have probably put you up in that bracket.
Talk of players switching codes here isnt helping anything. Hurlers are in a small bit of a transition period but you see time and time again they keep coming back good which is a great accomplishment.
The footballers are on the rise and that's something to celebrate. Joe Murphy certainly won't be trying to nab any of the hurlers, and he 100 percent won't bring them in this season.
Was at the game Waterford game and I actually think they played poorly. Which is a great criticism when they beat a team by 14 points. It should have been 30 plus nearly. It was great to see how the management experimented with the team. About 4 or 5 definite starters to come back in. What's great about this panel is the bench. It's unbelievably strong. I dont remember a carlow panel in the last 30 years with the dept this panel has. I think going into the more important games the likes of Sean Murphy and Darragh Foley will be used as impact subs. With 15 minutes to go and if it's a tight game bringing on the likes of Sean Murphy could be the winning of games as he would inject pace back into the team while the opposition could be out on their feet.
Some of the footballers would be huge additions to the hurlers. Mikey Bambrick, John Murphy, Aaron Amond, Sean Murphy, Kyle Nolan & John Phiri would all add real value to their team/squad. I see Jake Nolan from Kildavin is on the senior hurling panel now too though. He's a very capable footballer who was on the senior football panel last year.

'Talks of players switching codes here doesn't help anything' does anything we do here help anything? It's a forum for Christ sake

True. Jesus lads let's give the hurlers a break. They have given us some unbelievable days over the last 10 years or so. They have been playing at a higher level to the footballers for years & yes yesterday was very disappointing but I have no doubt they will roll up the sleeves & come strong again in the Kildare game & later in the Championship. Sometimes when you are playing with such a small panel missing a few players can have a big effect. I still wouldn't put it past them surviving in the league but it won't be easy. Lots to look forward to with our Hurlers & Footballers over the season
