"It's a perfect environment," said Donnelly. "The McKenna Cup is a brilliant competition. We would rate it highly and it's always fairly competitive. You couldn't get a better chance to judge it [new rules]. Along with this [inter-provincial series]. Even the fact that it's early in January and you have a two-week window after it to assess it to see how it leads into the league and then maybe tailor it from that. I hope they will [reconsider]."
"You can't afford to be trialling out lads in the first couple of games there because the aim is to have a good run in the league. We need proper preparation and this impacts it."
"There was a lack of communication in the decision-making process which ultimately affects the teams and players involved. Managers need a voice in these matters."
