My thoughts? The ‘throwing problem’ in hurling is overstated.

The ball doesn’t have to be released six inches before being palmed in order for it to be a valid handpass. Now many might only be released a fraction, but in general there is a double movement, just not visible to Joe Armchair ...

The current rule was fine when there was only ten handpasses in a match.
Now teams whole game plan is based around off the shoulder running "pop pass". A current intercounty ref said to me "I don't ref the handpass why would I bring that hardship on myself ".
The way the game is been played now ...

Well lads long time reader just said I'd register to post this as its very important for the future of our great game.
