Injuries-Due To Condensed Season?

(Oldest Posts First)

Reading all the previews of this weekend's matches it seems nearly every team involved has injuries preventing players from being on the starting 15. From memory (not great I admit), I don't remember such a high level of injuries.

Is it heavier training, wrong training methods, or does the condensed season contribute to it.

From quick memory, Meath, Kerry, Dublin, Roscommon, Westmeath, all seem to be missing starting players.

It could be the new system that entails a lot of extra time being required combined with the condensed intercounty season.
