Potential Penalty Goal Mishap

[innsaneink]

Thanks guys! World of wisdom this forum. I asked it was play on.

But if it hit the cross bar it would be play on and the team wouldn't of been ready.

What about kick for touch?
Can you deliberating kick it down field on the other side of the ground for a running winger?

Once again mate,if the decision is made to kick for the sideline it has to be taken as such ...its to make up ground to benefit the team getting the penalty...
Thats why if you kick for touch and fail,its frowned upon because you lose the advantage given by the penalty...

That part isn't correct
Section 13 Law 2

A player may take a penalty kick by punting, drop kicking, or
place kicking the ball from any point on or behind the mark
and equidistant from the touch line. Other than when kicking
for goal (see notes to Section 6, Law 11 - “Pretending to kick at
goal”) the ball may be kicked in any direction, after which it is
in play

You can kick in any direction and don't have to kick for touch.

I still wonder to this day if some teams wouldn't be benefited by trying to place-kick for touch? I know it's more time consuming, and potentially sides think they get more roll-on if they kick quickly and jog downfield.

But some guys can regularly kickoff 50+m on the fly, which they potentially could not replicate with a punt? And recently a fair number of punts not finding touch, I think players have become a little out of practice since the 6-agains.

Ross Conlon used to do it.

Parra did it too... Along with the wedge, ball up the jumper etc etx

I've got a really vague recollection of Kevin Yow Yeh scoring a try under the posts in the mid 60's, after a rebound from a penalty kick.

From memory, the game was over and Balmain were behind on the score board. The kick missed and both teams started to leave the field - except for Yow Yeh who gathered up the rebound and planted the ball over the try line. Balmain won the game.

I can't recall who they were playing and I can't find any reference to it on the internet. Does anyone else recall this?
