Cusack: Rebel stars will walk away ‘on principle’

INDIVIDUAL Cork players will walk away from the intercounty scene rather than being part of the current set-up in which the senior team managers have lost the right to pick their own selectors.

That’s the view of hurling goalkeeper and GPA chairman Donal Óg Cusack, who is convinced that the action was prompted by County Board “anger” over situations such as the fixtures hold-up during the summer.

“What the players said in their statement, it’s not even strike — they are just going to go away,’’ he said.
