"All the teams will be playing 15-a-side matches next weekend anyway so when you've started this, you should have finished it. I'm not a fan of it, not one bit."
Former Kilkenny hurler can see where the powers-that-be are coming from, as he reasons that injuries such as those suffered by Aussie Gleeson, Conor Prunty and Adrian Mullen at the weekend would spook managers.
"Looking from a county point of view, we're only two weeks away from championship. I think you'd just see more of this squad rotation type of thing again. We're seeing small little niggly injuries, the likes of Austin Gleeson, Prunty and Adrian Mullen with the hamstring. If you gave Galway-Kilkenny the option, they'd probably play it but they'd probably give other players a run out in it. You'd like to see a League final, but I can understand both sides of the argument.

But Hayes was not for turning and he makes a good point to finish off.
"I can see Paul's point of view about niggly injuries and Austin and so on, but next Sunday morning when they're playing matches with places up for grabs, it'll be full-pelt and a lad could roll his angle or pick up a niggle just as easy there as he could in a League final."
