We're already at a point where we're coming from a very low base of the amount of elite teams that are there.
And if we decide to just cut off more teams, like the John McDonagh is a really good competition, by the way.
But the reality is that for the general public, they only care about the top end of things.
Yeah, as a few people have pointed out in the comments there as well, there were double digits across Munster this season.

And look, they do to an extent.
And you said this last week, Scallion, and I was thinking about it when I was reading some of the comments on it, that...
I remember, geez, on this pod when we started, and I know our pod kind of started at the very zenith of Limerick's strength.

I remember, again, conversations going on not that long ago, probably going back to around 2019 or so.
It was like, will the Dubs ever not win a Leinster Championship again?
