Bleep1673 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 If a team opt to kick a penalty for goal, and lining it up for a kick, the kicker then approached the ball, but instead just tap the penalty & score a try, is this allowed? After all they have kicked the ball, albeit 1cm, would this be a legitimate play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeF Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It is clearly covered in the Laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Tonks Sidestep Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 From the Laws of the Game Section 6, Note 11 Pretending to kick It shall be misconduct for a player to pretend to kick at goal at goal from a penalty kick and then deliberately kick it elsewhere. Such misconduct shall incur a penalty. Once having informed the Referee of his intention to kick at goal from a penalty award the kicker shall not do otherwise.

Blind side johnny Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Many years ago I did see our hooker, Neil Kelly, when awarded a penalty in front of the posts point up to them then take the tap and score, the opposition having trudged back awaiting the kick. When the other team protested the referee said that Kelly had said, whilst pointing "I'm not going to kick it over them". These were the days before demonstrative referees had to indicate everything that was going on. It was very amusing. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvusxiii Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I remember Canberra getting a penalty in front of the sticks when Mal Meninga points to the sticks and says to the Ref- I'm not going for the penalty goal. The defence relax and he taps the ball and strolls over. Ouch. TESTICULI AD BREXITAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were the days before demonstrative referees had to indicate everything that was going on. It was very amusing. I saw Steve Hesford do something similar for Warrington in the 70s. He put the ball down and started digging a mark (days before sand and tees), opposition players started trooping back towards the try line, he tapped the ball ran forward and (I think) passed to the winger to score.

It is now but wasn't then. Referees weren't a part of the entertainment in those days and didn't go through elaborate performances to indicate what was happening every two minutes. The players just got on with the game. (They also called players by their numbers, not first names, but that is a different thread altogether.)

And you know their names, and the players call out their names. Is the referee not to communicate. On topic, all the ref had to do was call it back. Its a moot point if the ref should call out stuff like 'stay on side'... but i suggest that the public dont want to see excessive stoppages in play.

He's told the Ref he's not going for a penalty kick, the Ref has presumably indicated this to the defence who had their backs to him and Mal taps the ball and goes over.

Had a quick look on YouTube but can't find owt. There was this incident I remember with Meninga with the Canberra Raiders. I think it was a first round game. The Raiders got a penalty and kicked for touch. Then on the mark from the touch finder, Meninga lined up a shot at goal. Everyone was wondering what was going on and then he tapped it and played on. I don't think he scored though. "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

The trick is to learn the 1, 6, 7, 9 & 13 from the team sheet. They are usually the key players. The rest you may pick up on or know a few. From personal experience it can be done & does work.
