Guys could be playing in an All-Ireland final, but should not be exempt from scrutiny. In fact, the further Rhode get, the more players will come under the spot-light and people will question whether they are good enough for this level. People involved should take it as a compliment.

I would add to that, Roy Malone, Alan McNamee and Pascal Kellaghan, great servants to Rhode and Offaly over the years. To me Niall Mc is as good a footballer as Matt Conner was and deserves some accolades/ medals.
I would echo those sentiments, perhaps suggest that they have been the best club in Offaly over the past ten years; they lost three county finals in that period and could be as successful as Crossmaglen in Armagh if they had a bit of luck.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but these are two outrageous statements.
1) Niall Mc is gifted, no argument, but not in the same stratosphere as Matt Connor. There have been few forwards in the game in his class.
2) Rhode have won as many championships as they deserved to over the past 10 years. Cross have won 13 Championships in a row, 5 or 6 Ulster Clubs and 4 All-Irelands. With an awful lot of luck and most likely a different team, Rhode could be as successful as Cross.
Maybe you're talking about how good they could be, rather than how good they could've been? I'm not sure? Either way, I'll still disagree.
Don't be making up to them Rhode boys too much
