FRC member Eamon Fitzmaurice says he can understand why managers are becoming frustrated with some of the new football rules.

In spite of this, the former Kerry All-Ireland SFC winning manager and player has indicated that there will be no further tweaks this year.

"I totally get it from the managers' point of view. I've been that soldier," he told the RTÉ GAA podcast.

"You're looking at the players at your disposal and you're trying to figure out what's the best way for us to play to maximise what we have and be as competitive as we can.

"The tweaks last week, for some teams, it meant they had to adjust. And work that they'd been working on for the last couple of months was probably no longer available for them. I get the annoyance and I get the frustration and everything else.

"But there comes a point - which is now - that it's just a case of get on with it for the rest of the year and see how the rules can work for you.

"It is such a topical subject, I get it. But at the same time, it is probably time for us all to look at the analysis of the game and the trends that are going on, rather than just the rules themselves.”
