Unbelievable from the bunker…. Knock ons are ok if your attempting a kick

He was clearly intending to kick so if you're allowed to drop kick in general play (and not only when attempting a field goal) then I don't see the problem with it. I don't know what the rule is about drop kicks in general play though.

Please.
A. Kick is when the ball leaves the hands and contacts the foot.
A drop kick is kicked simultaneously as the ball touches the turf and contacts the boot.
That was a howler and Slater knew it

Not really "simultaneously". The ball bounces.

But most people agree ita not a try. Tedesco did it laat year vs titans

If it does its for a fraction of a second… But yes often, and usually it's simultaneously... I was taught by a former first grader

If the nrl allows that as a try then technically isnt anyone who drops the ball (knock on) permitted to quickly kick it?

No, because unusually he was clearly intending to kick when he dropped it. If people just drop the ball then it will be obvious they weren't intending to kick and it will be a knock on.

Watch that at full speed and not in slow motion and it'll look like a drop kick. It doesn't have to be simultaneous - if you're trying to get elevation like they do in union you kick it slightly later than you do when going for distance.

No.
It looks like an attempted grubber kick after a knock on.
It looks nothing like a drop kick
 
Fox commentators stating from rule book - drop kick must be genuine attempt at goal. Looks like Klein got it wrong …..... again!

But you are allowed to do that as per the rules:

If, after knocking-on accidentally, the player knocking-on regains or kicks the ball before it touches the ground, a goal post, cross bar or an opponent, then play shall be allowed to proceed. Otherwise play shall stop and a scrum shall be formed except after the fifth play-the-ball.
 
This broncos, storm game has been a lot of fun to watch. Lol.
Aggressive as.

From the rule book:
DROP KICK: a kick whereby the ball is dropped from the hands (or hand) and is kicked immediately it rebounds from the ground.

Nothing about having a shot at goal. I don’t think it was a try as it wasn’t a genuine attempt at drop kick and he didn’t get to the error before it hit the ground. However, if they are going to quote the rule book they should get it right.

To me the Fox guys were more saying they should change the rule to that. I didn't think they were saying it was the rule now.

If that was the case I agree with them.
