were part of the part of the squad back then

yeah yeah it was actually it was part of the beat kind of hurling quality yeah yeah that was in Aviva at that time was it yeah yeah yeah nearly 10 years ago now and it's you know it's a hard competition going to the final getting to the quarter final

know,

yeah, but those that come in, they answer to, like, calls.

Jack's going all out, questions, so they can take it on.

They already have fighting really really strong so i went there and there's sean in this competition i went down to again north end directly where we kind of had three or four injuries of uh older players started experience there we went you can find a little bit more experience for that day it was more control it just shows the quality in the squad that we're able to if someone's injured or whatever that's exactly it like

Yeah.

And I think a lot of people, and this is across in, in anything, I think if you allow something for a long time, when s- when you ch- try and change it, people just don't under- they don't know how to react to that.

And I spent a long time just doing what I was told or making...

And it's, it's not to say that I'm not grateful, because I am so grateful for anyone and everything.

And I think in now hindsight, um, I think everything that sort of happened is, uh, I didn't want it to, but it's very necessary for me to wake up and, and take more control-

Mm-hmm

... as well.

Um, and you're a product, and so you need to understand that, and you need to...

I know that's probably impacting the senior team maybe more so, but it's a tough year for Loughlin's lining up at the moment.

Yeah, exactly.

As you said, lots of injuries and a couple of lads away there.

But look, it's an opportunity for some of the younger lads and lads who've been playing the junior grade getting to county finals in last year and 2019 and stuff.

So it gives them an opportunity to show their stuff on the biggest stage.

And that's the point of having a big panel and two senior teams or two main men's teams.

For Sammy, there might be no spot for you on that senior team yet? There shouldn't be, but you never know.

There's certainly three or four clubs can genuinely have aspirations of winning the junior.
