It is a vicious circle.

All of you not wanting many more local players being added at present, when do you suggest would be the right time to add more locals? These lads are NEVER going to get the experience unless they are signed. Every signing is a gamble whether they be local, out of county or even out of country, we could sign up 10 "foreigners" and still get relegated.

For me if the club released a statement saying that 10 locals were to be signed along with some "foreigners" to help bring them along then i would back that decision and would hope so would most fans. We need to change the reliance on traveling players, it has seen our demise and when Town were doing the same thing they were the worst team in semi-pro RL!

However who is saying that there are 10 quality local players actually willing to sign for us, we have hardly covered ourselves in glory of late in signing and playing locals. Every end-of-season there is talk of us signing the best local talent but rarely do we actually sign the names mentioned!

If rumours are true. 4 from Kells.  3 from the Brow and 3 from the Mont. That would be your 10. Purely rumours and hear say. No real facts.0

Gives us 10, but not the experience, of them 10 you would maybe expect 3, maybe 4 at a push to make it.


Another big season next year, we will never be as lucky again.Don't think there will be 3 from the Brow,even Beano is still talking about Coming back next season.


Heard they have asked Fox and Cullnean back, not what we need.

I've watched a lot of kells,brow and mont away games and have noted a lot of the players have missed away games. doesn't auger well for the commitment of these players. Anyone else noticed this. They seem to have a different format when away. :'( ???

It's strange that some players often miss away matches and others  don't. I know I watch them and listen to the coaches etc.
