RTÉ GAA Podcast: Whelan on Tailteann snakes and ladders, McGrath on search for meaningful hurling

Ahead of a bumper weekend of Allianz League action, Mikey Stafford and Rory O'Neill are joined by Colm Keys of the Irish Independent, Ciaran Whelan and Derek McGrath.

The GPA-GAA expenses row rumbles on, while in football the lads give their view on Darren McCurry’s eye-catching comments on withdrawals from Tyrone squad and Antrim’s successful bid to host Cavan in the Ulster SFC.

They look ahead to the Division 2 and Division 3 matches, with a focus on the drop from the second tier and promotion from the third.

Does the hurling league matter and what can be done to provide more meaningful matches ahead of the championship?

Derek spells out why Waterford are looking that much better this year ahead of their trip to Kilkenny and the battle for promotion from Division 2 is also up for discussion.
