Griffin fears ‘halfway house’ will encourage cynicism

Former All-Ireland-winning manager Liam Griffin has blasted the key recommendations of the Hurling 2020 report, believing an automatic substitution for a second yellow card amounts to a "halfway house".

The former Wexford boss says the proposal, if passed at Congress, will give rise to alarming levels of cynicism in the game.

Griffin favours the introduction of the sin bin in punishing yellow card offences, lamenting the committee’s lack of courage to replicate other sports in this regard.
