The former Kilkenny goalkeeper, winner of a record nine All-Ireland medals, fears it is only a case of when not if a player picks up a serious injury from a strike hit after the 20 metre line.
In recent games, Anthony Nash, TJ Reid, Conor Cooney and Seamus Callanan have all converted close-range frees or penalties having take a liberal number of steps in the process.
