People are talking about the 3 v 3 rule but it's actually not a 3 v 3 rule. Realistically it only means teams can't get 15 behind the ball. IT doesn't say you HAVE to attack with 11/12 men. Realistically teams will keep 5 players n their own half to mark 3 most of the time so as not to commit too much forward.

We will need a decent free taker with these new rules 45s are worth 2 points
Play Sherlock the whole match he won’t have to do as much running as before

We need Stephen the whole match, frees are too important & hard won - kicking them wide strips away vital momentum

I doubt congress will keep the extra value for a 45 - two points is way too much of a penalty for a goalie/defender blocking a shot

I'd agree. I'd question weather it should be kept for any free, and should just be awarded for a shot from open play.

Well, the solo and go and 50 yard punishments should help with that.

There isn't a sport in the world that has to go to such lengths to consider cynicism as gaelic football.

The difference last night between Niall Morgan and Chris Kelly was pretty sobering from a Cork point of view. Chris Og didn't exactly stand out in a great light compared to the other forwards on display either.

Goalies need to stay in the goal leave the scoring the same and no need to move the ball forward so much on the fouls other than that should make it better

If the new rules are brought in there's a lot of Cork players who are going to struggle mightily. It will totally change the type of player needed for some positions. Maguire struggled

I only saw the Friday night match, and I thought Maguire did well. For all the complaints that he is not a good kicker of the ball, I recall him giving some good kick passes in, and also benefiting from the extra space when direct running. Now I wasn't actually at the match (where one sees a lot more), and perhaps also it was different on Saturday.
