Agreed, no cork club within a mile of a Munster club.
Begs the question did Nash retire or was he retired.
I get that Cork needed a clear out, but itās strange to clear out lads who were on or near the starting team this year imo. Thereās probably another 15 lads inside there who Kingston obviously thought were worse than them because he didnāt give them game time. So whatās changed? Why not leave them on the panel but put them further down the pecking order and drop the dross he thought were worse than them

Kingston is pinning his hopes on a bit of this
, mixed with a prayer, a bit of holy water & Ballymaloe relish.
Because some lads who have been regulars for years donāt want to put in the time and effort to be bit part players. Can lead to a split in the camp and drain morale too.
Better a clean break and blood some of the younger fellas. They mightnāt be good enough but better for Cork to have them live and die on the pitch rather than drift away because Lehane and Joyce got further opportunities in which they would be the same players they have been for the last 7 or 8 years.

Weāre years away from anything
Born in the wrong county
Who?
If Kerry win at the weekend does this new Cork panel have to play them in a promotion/relegation play-off?
Pa Horgan, he should have a few medals at this stage and deservedly so
Theyāre talking about the young lad from ballinhassig whoāll replace Nash in goals
Iām surprised at the Lehane call, unless his legs are going or something. He is a better player than most of the forwards on the panel. I donāt think Cork have much immediately coming that are in his league. Part of the challenge of management is to get the most out of guys like that.
The issue with Cork all along has been a lack off ball winning/dominant players down the spine of the team and some backs and workmanlike forwards that were WAY off the standard. Thatās not Lehaneās chargeā¦Even if he could graft a bit more.

Lehane is far too inconsistent. I canāt remember when he has played well two games in a row in the championship

When have cork last played 2 good games ?
Ah yeah saw him with CIT a while back, his brothers not bad either
Great player but theyāre carrying him defensively as much as anyone and Iāve seen him cleaned out plenty of times over the years. Tough to play with in ways.
