Their manager Johnny Kelly is making the comments following their loss to Wexford on Sunday.
Offaly will have to get stronger and find a way of going longer if they're to compete with the best hurling teams in the country.
That's according to their manager Johnny Kelly after he saw his side lose to Wexford in the Walsh Cup on Sunday.
The Faithful County trailed by a point at half time but saw Daragh Egan's side pull away in the second period to lead by 8 points after 60 minutes and finish up three points down.
Kelly says working hard and working smart is the only way forward:
