Former star Joe Rabbitte says there will be "no winners" from the controversy currently engulfing Galway hurling.

Manager Anthony Cunningham's position at the helm appears to have become untenable due to a lack of support from the players and Rabbitte sees the whole mess as counter-productive:

"There's no winners out of this kind of thing," the Athenry man told The Irish Daily Mirror. "The players and the management and the whole lot are in the one and when you start pointing fingers where do you stop?

"Do you start with the players and then you go to management and then do you go to the County Board and where do you stop? So it's disappointing to hear it.

"After the All-Ireland final, when everything was done and dusted, you look at players and you say 'Are they going to give another year, is there youth in it?' There is youth there. You have the likes of young Moloney, Brehony, those who were great minors, won All-Ireland minors. Those guys have potential with the Galway jersey, no doubt.

"Now, more than anything, you're looking for leaders. It depends on what players are leading what. No one knows anything at all yet."
