I think after the finishing of the group stages in Munster, there was going to be five hurling games.
That's right.
There was going to be 55 football games between Tallaghan Cup and between the San Maguire.
Like, how do you grow a game with five games being shown?
How do you grow a game in Watford, in Tipperary, in Kilkenny, you know, on these teams that didn't get out, like didn't play a game from May, from the end of May onwards.
You don't because the Munster Championship will always be a cesspool of, you know, players wanting it.
Munster Championship has been that way for so many years.
It's not going to lose its aura.
But if you're here on Munster final day in a simple stadium and the crowd and the atmosphere and everything that comes at Munster Hurling is here, like I tied to the Ulster Football Championship, the colour, the way people speak about the Ulster Championship.
Has that lost its...
Oh, 100%.
I watched all quarterfinals this weekend.
I watched them, I would have been intently watching it.
But there's so much, there's so much talent there.
Jason said it like,
football take for example like Kobe McDonald like what you're seeing there but getting to see him week in week out like what he can do with a ball then you look at the Dublin lads that are after coming through and how much game time that's been like would Dublin be where they are right now in the football if they had a hurling championship structure no they wouldn't and that was my point initially about Watford
Watford would probably I think be in a similar position to Dublin right now if they had more games to play Tipperary would be the same because you build on that structure you'd say okay here's what didn't go well in the Munsters round robin okay how can we develop that like younger players I was so impressed with Tipperary I said it at the start of this season
how Liam Cahill gave youth their experience and youth the chance and he drafted in even after having success how easy it would have been to be we're going to go with the same 15 and five subs again next year but he didn't and I think it was maybe to their detriment in terms of the season being so short and condensed not getting their big name players league game time and Jason said it about how important that league is to get game time into lads it's a happy medium it's a trade-off
but you look at those football teams and Dublin would not be where they are right now in an All-Ireland semi-final if they didn't have the amount of games they had to blood players into the height of championship beating Dublin beating Galway sorry beating Donegal beating Galway two All-Ireland contenders for a team that were whitewashed throughout Leinster who got relegated in the league
And just another point on that, like you look at Watford and I know we're taking Watford as an example because they've probably suffered the most out of the Ron Robbins series in Watford, right?
