Having just seen the highlights, HKRs last goal should have not been allowed - you can't drop kick a conversion!

You can do for a penalty, which is a free kick

I thought the rules were changed and you could now DK a conversion to speed things up.

Yes you can.

Goal – 6. A goal is scored if the whole of the ball at any time how scored during its flight passes on the full over the opponents’ cross bar towards the dead ball line after being kicked by a player (and not touching or being touched in flight by any other player) in any of these
circumstances:–
(a) by a place kick after a try has been scored and counts two points
(b) by a place kick or a drop kick when a penalty kick has been awarded and counts two points.

Can only by DKd when it's a penalty...unless the RFL haven't bothered to update their own rules page!

I seem to recall that Chris Thorman did this years ago for Huddersfield and it wasn't allowed, and that the rule was changed shortly after to allow it. Don't hold me to that though!

Marc Sneyd also kicked a conversion with a drop kick last year, which was allowed. Although the laws of the game on the RFL website doesn't say this is permitted.

Mind you, the laws also state you can drop the ball (or place it) at the play the ball and it's not a knock on, and that certain types of obstructions should result in a scrum!

Surely even the RFL can update a website now and again...

2017 International Rules...guessing that means UK comp as well...

6. A goal is scored if the whole of the ball at any time during its flight passes on the full over the opponents’ cross bar towards the dead ball line after being kicked by a player (and not touching or being touched in flight by any other player) in any of these circumstances:–

(b) by a place kick or a drop kick when a penalty kick has been awarded and counts two points.

Pointless thread, drop kicks after tries have been legal for donkey’s years. If was deemed more convenient than the ball being blown off the tee.

u new here?

Yeah, cos that happens sooooooooo often!

It now just seems a case of the RFL being unable to update their own rules page.

Probably because the website is an absolute nightmare to even navigate around.
I use other RL sites to get my info,it's easier, and a hell of a lot quicker.

No, I have been reading your nonsense for ages.

No, doesn't mean it applies to UK comps. RLIF, RFL and NRL laws all have differences.

That would have been worth a =#FF0000like if we still had them reffy lad

I recall Marc Sneyd doing it at Saints a season or two ago. I didn't even know it was allowed until I seen it then.

Agree lw69 - I'll give one of these instead.

Well it does (this specific rule), otherwise the McGuire DK was against the rules.
