the last one was about was about 20 years ago . but with amount of field goals attempted now .it wont be long before we see another

are you Stevo ?

I never knew this existed until it was mentioned in the Broncos Cowboys game. I knew about the 8 point try, saw one a few years back in SL but knew nothing of the 3 point field goal.

Is this basically a penalty for foul play on a player during/after the drop goal has been taken? And if so, is it taken where the foul was? Or 10m from in front of the sticks?

If it misses - it's where it bounces/is next played.

If it goes over - 10m out in front of posts.

if it misses, surely its just a standard penalty (i.e. 2 points).

If it misses it's a penalty where the ball bounces if it bounces in the in goal it's from in line from where it bounced ten metres from line and it's just a penalty with the option to tap, kick to touch or go for goal (worth two points). If the drop goal is successful the drop goal is awarded (one point) and a penalty is awarded where you must go for goal worth another two.

Yes, an optional kick, so could just tap it for example. If the DG was successful, a resultant penalty must be taken at goal.

and if the penalty kick for goal .is missed but stays in play . what next ??

Game is already "dead" - kick-off from half way as normal.

Same as a conversion I'd assume as the play is already dead.

If a penalty misses and stays in play, it's play on, normally, isn't it?
Must say I've never heard this one.

Argues with self.
Restart from halfway, regardless.

should be used more as should the 8 point try.

Andrew Voss was banging on about it on The Footy show last night. 27 years since one was awarded in the NRL. He seems to be waging a one-man campaign to get one awarded in the NRL. He'll wet himself if one is ever awarded. Came close the other night though.

He joined the Footie show this year and he's quite funny when he gets going.

exactly same here.

FMD thats a good question.

id not even thought about that.

i like vossy,

and not just because hes a souths fan.

we finaly kicked our feild goal

4 weeks too late . 12 points in front

A couple of years ago I was coaching an U16s side and an '8 pointer' was awarded against us for one of our players sliding in after the try was scored. Correct decision. Unfortunately the referee decided that an eight point try consisted of eight points for the try and another two for the conversion in front of the sticks! The 'ten pointer'! No amount of reasoning could persuade him he was wrong and we lost by two points.

thats crazy . did u report him
