Why the delay on new penalty rule?

After Dublin won the Division 1B final against Limerick in 2013, we had one weekend to spare before the League semi-finals, so we decided to fit in a training weekend on Bere Island. 

Why the delay on new penalty rule?

It was animal stuff. US Navy Seals would hardly have been able for the torture. When Tipperary hammered us in the league semi-final a week later, that accusation of flogging the players was levelled at us in the aftermath.

There’s no doubt that it had an effect, but we were still way off the pace. Waterford have probably been the outstanding team this spring but the other results over this weekend shows that playing at that lower level slows down the process.
