Veteran Offaly forward Niall McNamee has pleaded with the GAA to revert to the old National Football League format - to give weaker counties a fighting chance of improving.

The 36-year-old Rhode man, who hasn't ruled out a 20-year anniversary in the Offaly jersey in 2023, feels that introducing the Tailteann Cup missed the point of why the gap actually exists between strong and weak counties in football.
