Tyrone legend Peter Canavan has joined the Football Rules Committee, and will play a role in examining the new rules throughout the league campaign.
The FRC has made it clear that the rules can be amended or removed if they are not deemed to be working correctly, and that they will have lots of meetings over the coming weeks to address any issues that have been raised.
Speaking on RTÉ's Game On the two-time All-Ireland winner has already highlighted a rule that had a positive impact on the sport.

"By and large, when I got a chance to review a lot of the games that took place over the weekend, I thought there were many more positives than negatives to be taken out of it.
"In particular, the tap and go, of all the rule enhancements, that was the one that was really well used. The net result is that you have a much faster game as a result.
"Likewise, if teams were to try and impede someone from taking the tap and go straight away, there was a 50m penalty. Players were soon catching on to the fact that you can’t slow the game down as much as you’d like to.
Despite being an Active member on the FRC, Canavan isn't afraid to admit that he doesn't fully support every rule, and that communication between officials and fans need to improve.
"I definitely believe there are tweaks needed to it. I wouldn’t be a fan of every rule that is there, but I believe we’ll have a better game as a result.
"There were supporters beside us and you could hear them asking what the fouls were. It was easy for us to watch on the monitor.
"From a communication point of view, and even signals, I think there are things we can look at to make it easier for supporters as well as players and officials. That will take a bit of time to bed in."
Of course we have only seen one round of National League action, and the weather was particularly poor, so that didn't allow certain games to be the spectacle that they might have been.
This weekend there are a few big matches lined up, including Canavan's own county as Tyrone visit the All-Ireland champions in Armagh this Saturday, in a game which is sure to catch the imagination.
