We talked about the high tackles quite a bit.

So I think we've covered that off in fairness.

There was one that came in there as well from Ryan Mason.

I'm not ignoring it in terms of, is there any point of Willie Maher leading a development committee for emerging counties when the current established counties are declining at rapid rates?

Look, I've said this a million times and I'm pretty sure we said it to Willy when he was on as well.

I feel for anyone who's involved in these committees because you're trying to go with a situation where you're trying to set up, because I was talking to a club earlier today and they're trying to play in two or three different places and they're trying to play in a Connacht Club Championship which is also bringing in teams from North Leinster and it's strategically very, very difficult to do that.

And at the same time, so you're trying to develop those teams.

You're also trying to develop teams in Ulster who have been very clear, and we've spoken about this a few times, where they don't have teams that they can play against frequently enough, so they're having to join combined leagues and all that type of stuff.

That's its own challenge.

Trying to set up hurling clubs in areas where hurling has either become dormant or you're trying to set it up is its own challenge.

Then trying to get teams who are in the second or maybe a little bit below the second tier to catch up and maybe get to where Dermot was talking earlier about where Down have gone as a consistent Joe McDonagh team.

And then you're trying to get teams who are in that kind of 12th to 8th position to try and catch the top eight.

But I think within the top eight, you also have teams that are trying to catch up with the top few.

Like, there's so many different levels to that job.

And the thing that's come out of this survey, and it's the reason I wanted to ask The Rock if he'd filled it in,

was that Ursula Jacob, I think mentioned it earlier, I saw a clip when I got home, about the fact that the hurling committee that's on at the moment, which John Myler is working on, they've been talking extensively about hurling rule changes as opposed to how to grow the game.

So a lot of us kind of expected that the hurling development committee would be largely growing the game.

It seems now that they're going to have something very like the Football Review Committee where they end up talking about rules.

And it struck me, the minute that I filled in that survey last Wednesday,

May I fill in?
