Similar we seemed to have lost our big farmer types.

Has something happened to cut our traditional supply of to Ballymena tough as teak farmers?
Question for Rooster I would have thought.
Less farms for a start also kids on farms and fathers getting older leading to lads having to make the choice to farm or not earlier and those who farm can just about handle training for club matches but not the time for academy, I know 2 who turned down academy selection but still play club rugby, hard as nails a prop and a back row.
More mechanised farming also leads to less natural muscle build up, used to be chucking bales of hay, cleaning out calf houses with graip and barrow now it's big round or square bales handled by loaders and calf pens cleaned out with machinery as well, less workers required for same end result, a six stone girl can do most farming jobs these days.
I was talking to a GAA clubman from South Down last week and he was complaining about exactlythe same things. No big strong country lads (or girls). He says they're all indoors playing computer games like the townies.
No more 50 kg meal bags and very few fertiliser bags, all bulk or 500kg stuff now except some 25 kg bags, but sure you carry one with each hand and if you need to carry 3 put one under one arm as well.
Feck it not even a crunch and grind gearbox to strengthen your wrists all automatic or semi automatic boxes now.

The province of Ulster has a fairly distinctive history of breeding fearless barstewards who are hard as nails and have a flair for leadership. Think Blair Mayne and Willy John McBride. We just don’t seem to make them the same anymore.

I would still put Rory in there with that group to be fair, even the old warriors Jimmy McCoy, (he is still alive, isn't he?)

But then at the other scale you do have the likes of Shane Todd aka McGold dick, as weak as pîss after a night on harp.

I still hammer the odd post in, and use me chopper a bit, that wood won't cut its self.

Yes Kofi, Jimmy still looks like he'd hold his own in the scrum. I see him around Bengor from time to time.

One for the elderly in Co Down - you don't get too many Crosby Clelands to the hundredweight. Nor a whean of Neville Edgars or Calverts. Those were hard boys.
