[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 475071, member: 13739"] What the hell is Kidney doing? I could understand retaining POC, O'Gara and BOD if he was fit, but otherwise the older players simply had to go, especially those not currently playing well (I'm looking at you DOC). What is the point of Paddy Wallace? I've never rated him as a player, even if he can have the odd good game, but to pick him now is close to crazy. I also don't understand the reason for announcing a squad of just 24 (including one injured player). What's the point of doing that, and then promote players from the wolfhounds. Why is there an 'aditional players' section, why aren't they just part of the full squad? Surely this just sends the message to those 'adition players' that Kidney doesn't think they're good enough to be in the full squad? That can't be good for morale and self-confidence within those players. I thought Kidney was going to be a good coach, but he seems a little deluded. I know Ireland have a history of having Irish coaches, but maybe some outside perspective could be a good thing at the moment. [/QUOTE]
