Paul Schutte empathises with Danny Sutcliffe's decision to take the 2016 season off to concentrate on his studies.

2013 All Star attacker Sutcliffe will not be available to the Dublin hurlers this year and his former team-mate Schutte points out that he isn't the kind of man to give 80%:

"I work in Davy Stockbrokers so I start at eight o'clock," he explains in The Irish Examiner. "I leave my house at seven. Because I'm doing rehab on my shoulder I'm lucky Davy have a gym in work so sometimes I can pop in before work.

"I do my daily job and pop in at lunch to do Pilates or maybe my rehab and then finish at half-five and go straight to training at seven.

"Get home around half-ten, prep my meals and into bed by 11. It's so demanding and that's the case with Danny. Unless you can give 100% and, knowing the man he is, Danny wants to be the best and I don't think he'd be true to himself only giving 80%. That's my take on it."
