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.

It passed with a majority of just 1%.
Irish Independent journalist Verney says the truncated calendar expected this year won't help:
