Replying To omahant: "The rhythm of a string of passes, ultimately leading to a wonderful POINT, even with the fist, would be lost. Instead, stop, reassess, recycle, wait for that goal opportunity. Choice of either close-range score retains finesse and a better spectacle." I dont see any scenario where a team might have a goal chance - the defense closes it down and they start passing it around - they will either go back for an open 2 or take the hand 1. face the kick out and keep the pressure on. The real benefit of the 4 point goal is 1 - the game is never over - 2 the safe fisted point or tap over on the 14/21 will be ditched for a goal change - you'll only need to score 1 goal chance out of 4 to match a 100% strike rate from inside the arc tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 2056 - 11/09/2026 18:09:51 2693552 Link
Replying To Freethinker: "A very valid point." Maybe in 'wrestle' situations, best to give 'benefit of the doubt' to both players (no +50m)? omahant (USA) - Posts: 3604 - 13/09/2026 16:28:50 2693686 Link

No need for any of the new changes could be a disaster mcstay bad track record SAMFORHILLS9292 (Donegal) - Posts: 18 - 02/10/2026 13:52:13 2695926 Link
Replying To SAMFORHILLS9292: "No need for any of the new changes could be a disaster mcstay bad track record" 6 Subs make sense as there's more action in the game. Could at least have given the enhanced rules 3 full years before looking at the rest. Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 970 - 02/10/2026 14:33:01 2695932 Link
