Ok so on the subject of a rebuild for winning things in 4 years time you are talking 3 lads who will be well into their mid 30s, plus 4 lads who still aren't the finished article? Surely to God there's more lads than that?

I didn't say anything about 'a rebuild for winning things in 4 years time'. I merely responded to your question regarding my opinion of who Galway's 'core players' are currently.

Ah ok. The 1st 3 are top level intercounty hurlers by any standards. Think you are being hard on Daithi Burke and P Mannion, both very good players still imo. Not sure the other 4 would be core players, as in automatic starters, except perhaps Morrissey.

Cathal Mannion was the only real talent we had this year from the old brigade, whelan kept falling down in possession and coughed up the ball too much. Daithi Burke played ok but sendings off are a problem and hes 32 years old now. Players lose a step by 30 so I can only see a decline from here. I agree with the youth selections you made from the limited view I saw of them. Im glad that we are D1 in the league so hopefully we can see more of these and some of the younger players coming through. Gavin Lee may be a decent player but hes not an intercounty center half, theres a lot of parts that need replacement so no better time than the present
