Former Cork boss John Meyler. 

It says so much about the present state of hurling that there have been calls for John Meyler’s brief as chairman of an expert group to be expanded.

Former Laois manager Seamus “Cheddar” Plunkett is one of those who has argued there is more for the GAA to sweat about than the parameters of the game itself. If it’s not the structure or schedule of the hurling championship people want Meyler to review, it’s how the squeezed middle can be helped.
