Clubs are being hurt more by lads going for a year or two or 5 in Australia.
Of course, the split season is to blame.

Of course. Championship is a blitz. Whoâs going to stick around? You could sprain ankle and miss the whole lot of it ffs.
Itâs the same club championship as before except we donât have to play 2 rounds in April and go back running in muck in January.

No itâs not itâs a gloried blitz run off after the inter county players are flogged to death playing out the most awful championships for eight months.
This is going round in circles
No itâs not. The split season is destroying the gaa. Itâs as simple as that.
100% where players had to go back in early January to train for championship in April. At least that is gone.
Donât recall too many players of the calibre of Brian Fenton skipping off for the summer and missing the club season before this split season nonsense came in.
Fentonâs club Raheny are crap, no realistic chance of winning a county.
Thatâs not a very split season/itâs all about the club soundbite.

They are far from crap with a full team.
Fentonâs crew won all round them growing up and Brian Howard and Sean McMahon are decent too at a younger age.
They should be making Quarter Finals every year at minimum cc @Bandage

Saw them last year a few times with Fenton playing. Not realistic contenders even with Fenton in my opinion.
At least youâll get an extra week of Carlow club hurling next year.
@Perez2017 really let the mask slip there for the split season zealots. Split season has ensured that most inter-county players are done by mid to late June. If youâre playing with a âcrap clubâ that donât have a chance of winning itâs seemingly grand to skip off for the summer.

Itâs an extremely anti-club soundbite. Itâs like something that somebody who wanted to kill off the club game would say.

Fenton was done by mid July. If he doesnât feel any loyalty towards his club that is his look out. Free country. Didnât see any of the Cork hurlers doing it mind you and they were finished on June 18th if i am correct.

Yes, weâve got the message loud and clear at this stage that the Cork Hurling Championship is the nirvana that everyone should aspire to.
God save the King.
When did the Tyrone Senior Football Championship start?
Well you are stating constantly incorrectly I may add that county players are leaving in their droves after their county exit. Cork hurlers were all given a few weeks off by their clubs to rightly take a break and all lined out for their clubs in championship.
