Just not good enough plus being raided 2 years ago was the final nail…..

Replying To HB245:  "McBennett the only one worth mentioning here. That's a debate, I'll give you that. Leonard never fit so that's null and void. Beggan was in the panel for a couple of years and couldn't cut it. Connolly was given a shot this year and clearly not at that standard. Hanratty from Castleblayney simply not even close to that level, although still young so I suppose he could develop. Mick McCarville would look like an all-star playing intermediate football. Hes been the best midfielder in the senior championship for 2 or 3 years now whilst some of those lads you mentioned are often found struggling in intermediate league games."
The problem I see here is to know mc carville is the best midfield at senior club level the past 3 years you'd have to be at a heck of a lot of senior club games and to then say lads struggle in many games divisions down you'd also have to be at a lot of junior / intermediate games too, either you have the ability to be in multiple places at once or your judging players on bite sizes, if the small sample size you have of a player happens to be on an off day then your automatically going to think hrs no good.
