Hurling needs more depth in quality not rule-tinkering, says Pete Finnerty

Pete Finnerty believes attempts to solve hurling’s problems should be less to do with rule-tinkering and focused more on helping the lower-tier counties close the gap to the game’s elite.

A series of experimental rules continue to be trialled in the GAA’s Higher Education Division One league – including the prohibiting of consecutive handpasses, increasing the number of steps permitted from four to six, 65s to be taken from inside a team’s own half of the field and awarding two points for a converted sideline cut.
