Where's the thread on his charity work and all the other stuff he does off the field???

I think all non-Dublin people should not be allowed to start threads on Dublin players becuase they only pick up rubbish on Social Media and repeat it without actually having a clue what this team does on the ground and around the city.

They do massive work in the background without any fuss and becuase those beyond the 'pale' can't see they have pegged thse Dublin players as money scrounging ass&é"'(

Bit of a generalisation there.

So you're narrowmindedly calling culchies narrow-minded. Plenty of narrow-minded begrudgers within and outside The Pale. Should we stop Dublin posters posting about issues that put representatives of The Culchie Nation in a bad light too? Sounds like censorship and a path to a boring forum.

That's his business. Good luck to him. No one should begrudge him

If he makes a mint fair play to him. I find the whole thing a bit mental to be honest, and the prices are ridiculous but that's his choice.

He charges 350 for a 1 to 1 session which lasts an hour. 400 for 2 people, 550 for 3 people and 650 for 4 people.

Good man Beano.

Lord above what club in their right mind would pay that kind of money to teach a fella how to kick frees.

Money making exercise for Deano. Fair play to him I suppose but I hope it goes tits up for him.
We had a lot of high profile GAA people to our club for training sessions over the years and didn't charge anything. They always got a few quid off us when leaving for expenses etc. but never asked. It's what the GAA is all about.

I hope this doesn't become a trend.

It's sold out according to his Instagram account. Wishing something would go tits up for a member of the GAA community is not what the GAA is about.

Charging extortionate fees for something routinely provided for free by GAA volunteers isn't what it's about either, but fools and their money are easily parted I suppose.

Well for a start you'd be learning from the best in the business. Could be a good investment from a coaching point of view.
I don't know how people could honestly begrudge this man. I guarantee you players aren't doing Cul Camps for nothing. How many county players are personal trainers and run their own gyms?
If there's a demand for something like this then what's the problem.

True however surely its up to the individual if they want to avail of this extortion. Much like Gooch's testimonial. There will always be people willing to shell out a small fortune to learn from the best and meet their heroes. It wouldn't be me but I don't see the harm in it.

Haha! Theres always a first. See Kieran Donahey, Eamon McGee and a fair few other players on Twitter defending Rocks prices. They're getting a fierce hammering. Though there is a lot of support for him too.

Best of luck to him
Only issue I have is the price. It's very expensive regardless of how good he may be.
At that price you wont be able to do a lot of sessions unless you're minted and one session really isnt enough to improve a player much.

Well if any man, women or child are stupid enough to pay that silly sort of money well then they deserve to be ripped off.....
