NFL Division 1 2025

Some people looking for 2 pointers to be from play only and not from frees.
Wouldn't that lead to an awful lot of fouls between the Arc and 45 or beyond?
As an aside - Should frees for fouls on the ball e g touching on ground, 2 hops etc be only 1 pointers while fouls on the man remain 2??

Great point, 2pts up and game on the blow other team have the ball round the arc just pull him down. I don't think we need the 2pt at all. Can live with keeper not touching ball inside his own half, like the solo and go. And if it can be worked the 3v3. They change the game, not the reat

When you are relying on the ref to signal when times up the mentality would be to try and get the ball back to front as quick as can to get the winning score as the time left is at ref discretion. 

With the hooter if the game is level and the teams wins a kickout they will invariably hold the ball until the dying few seconds to try and get the shot off then.(Armagh v Mayo game was an example of this)  I thought the hooter would be good but would ditch it after seeing it in action.  Bit of a farce that it is not in play in D3 and D4 also.

I thought this initially but I now think if keeping 2 points it should only be from play (much more skill involved). Free's round the arc will be converted by most decent free takers in good conditions and teams won't want to deliberately give up a free/point by fouling. And there is also the option for a quick tap and go which reduces the incentive to foul as well. Too many soft free's resulting in two points will happen if the rule stays as is and it's too great a reward.

I'd be willing to run with the hooter for a year to see, but it's not the addition I thought it would be either.
Fully agree that it should be in place in all Divs or none though.

Mind boggles. He was shocking in their game v Galway.

Wonder is it true Rian has left squad again. Hope he can get the help he needs. Would love to see him in the orange and white again but sadly another orchard cross talent prob never guna reach his full potential. Although he has already got the celtic cross

Was going to say I think the loser of Armagh v Kerry may be in serious danger of relegation given the other fixtures but that appointment can change that to Armagh I fear may be in serious bother after this match.

We may be in bother. However, Armagh have played rightly at home and it is up to us to beat Derry in the last game. If Armagh did manage an unlikely victory in Tralee, then Kerry would have a hard away assignment against Galway.
