On the RTÉ panel ahead of today's All-Ireland SFC final is Peter Canavan, Lee Keegan, and Jim Gavin.
The latter, who managed Dublin to six All-Ireland titles, has left his biggest mark on the game through his work as chairman of the Football Review Committee.
The new rules brought in by the FRC have completely revolutionised Gaelic football, with the two-point and 3v3 rules seen as particularly game-changing.
After being pressed by host Joan Cantwell, Gavin revealed that further new rules will be tested next week in a friendly club game, with the potential for voting them in at Congress in October.
Gavin revealed: "Next Wednesday night we have Round Tower of Clondalkin playing Fingallians of Swords at half seven in Abbotstown to look at more [rules].
"The four-point goal. Some suggestions have been if a team crosses the half-way line, they can't go back.
"So look at Louth in the Leinster final against Meath where they brought the ball back into their own half.
"Some suggested that it might encourage teams to push out if the team can't go back into its own half.
"I don't want people concerned that there's going to be radical change.
"Our job as the FRC is to do as much research as we can in the time that we're given.
"So we have to produce a report for Congress, for Central Council, in early September."
