Morgan accepted the general consensus after Friday evening’s two contests that a true reflection on the new rules’ merits will only become apparent if they get the go-ahead to be used during the Allianz Football League in the late winter and spring.
“Hopefully the game changes for the better. I don’t know if we’re going to see that tonight and tomorrow. It’s not going to be until games are really cut throat and have something on the line,” said Morgan after Ulster’s 0-23 to 2-11 victory, which translated to a four-point with four points awarded for goals under the new rules.
However, Morgan expects all seven rules to be in operation for next year’s League.
“I don’t think it’s a matter of which rules, I think they are all going to go through,” said the 2021 All-Ireland winner.
“The group of people in charge of it are all an intelligent bunch, they’ve obviously thought things through and the rules are going to go in.”
The new rules in operation didn’t prevent Ulster playing keep ball in the closing two minutes of their win over Munster after their lead had been cut to two points and this led to boos from the small attendance at Croke Park.
“You could see tonight we kept the ball for 35 seconds and got booed. We used to do it for 35 minutes,” smiled Morgan.
“Managers are going to find a way around them, that’s the next part, but something had to change and we had to press for it.”
