Jason Ryan says Eoin Cadogan proves that it's possible to be an intercounty dual player.

Cadogan has managed to perform at the highest level with Cork in football and hurling in recent seasons and Wexford manager Ryan sees the full back as an example of what can be achieved if there is proper communication between those running the two codes.

With Model County hurler Stephen Banville currently on his football squad, Ryan says in the Examiner today: "I won't ask anyone to make decisions.

"It is about communication and I would like to think that Eoin Cadogan has shown the way. There is obviously fantastic communication between the two Cork senior teams.

"Cork is a massive county geographically and they have such high standards with all their GAA teams. If they can do it then why can't other counties as well if players approach it the same way? Physical conditioning for hurling is the same as for football.

"There is no great difference between the two so if you can merge those two areas in such a way as the player doesn't have to double up on the workload and pick key times to have them for hurling or football training, then I don't see why it couldn't be done.

"Maybe Eoin Cadogan has opened a can of worms for us with that in Wexford but he has shown us that it can be done." Tweet
