Michael Verney says it needs to be given a longer run in period for players.
Former Offaly hurler Michael Verney isn't in favour of a new rule to tackle cynical fouling in the game.
A motion was passed at GAA congress on Saturday which will see a penalty and a sin bin handed out for a foul inside 20 metres that's judged to be cynical.
It passed with a majority of just 1%.
Irish Independent journalist Verney says the truncated calendar expected this year won't help:
