    He is not getting time. Has happened over the years with many players. Its a massive committment. If your not getting time you may decide to call it a day.

    Too bad he didn't stick around, he'd be a good leader to have on the team, still only 28.

    I think as many posters have stated here we discard players to easily. A lot of the players are young and it can be daunting for them when they get the call up. Some are still not mature and when they are rejected it can have a massive influence on them for years. I have heard of people not going to try out when called up as they had a brother or someone else close to them who were messed about.

    Now this has been going on for as long as I can remember at county level so its not just the current management or under Cody. As i said its been happening for years.

    From talking to a few kk hurling men the general feeling is they're dissapointed that things are staying the same. Its very unusual that a county board fully backs a management that isnt improving. Derek and rice were absolutely brillant servants to club and county and are trying their best but its very obvious this team is in decline. Derek has being way too conservative. From the team cody handed to him after the limerick defeat 3 years ago 12 of them started against tipp a few weeks ago. Padraig,conor browne,tommy walsh the 3 changes and 2 of them are finished. I dont accept that there isnt more jordon molloys or stephen donnellys in the county. McMahon for comer was exceptional last wknd and has had some great games for comer,we know that paul cody and tom kenny wouldnt go back in but he needs to go after these lads again.Same with Eddie donnelly. Oisin knox from vegas. I know ian byrne was away last year but glenore have a few good young lads. We cant go back to the likes of billy drennan next year. Eddie brennan will be a help around the squad but it desperately needed a clear out and freshess added to add a bit of excitement. Tom mullally would of being a great addition.

    He got loads of game time last year. He just wasnt at his best, needs to performe to the level he did in 24 and he will be just fine.

    Hopefully the rumours of Eddie Brennan going in are true, he would be a great addition.
