The Football Review Committee are unable to assess the physical demands of the new rules because teams are not sharing their data, according to chairperson Jim Gavin.

Before the league, Gavin announced that their assessment of the new rules would require GPS readings from each county. The data would be anonymised and FRC members would sign Non-Disclosure Agreements.
