Well sorry to say Rabs but we don't refer to penalties as free kicks, and the examples you have given are from a long time ago. We are talking about the here and now, and those plays aren't even legal.

He plays last next round, unfortunately. If he's on the bench, the price gap between him and low BE Munster or Nathan Brown could increase by 60-70k. Even if Aubs starts, with his high BE, the gap can go up by 50k.

I can go Aubbs to Munster in one trade at the moment adter this week's changes, leaving TTurbo and SMat in centres. Not happy about SMat either, but think the trade has to be made.

Weirdly, can understand him being on trade-in list for others as he'll be bargain Origin cover after a couple more price drops before playing 80 for Cordner Rnd 12 and 18.

The team taking the penalty goal have to be inside their own half when the kick is being taken. Broncos took the piss out of that rule last week and the refs allowed it because the game was over

Showbags wrote:thought i'd put this out from the rule book I was sure it is illegal to purposefully miss a penalty kick on goal

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. Having informed the Referee of his intention to kick at goal from an awarded penalty kick the kicker shall not do otherwise.

Section 6. in Notes, number 11

Nothing to say you can't miss, not kick it dead and regain possession.

Are you going to tell me you can't take a kick for touch, put a bomb up, regather?

You can in both instances.

Also, would love to see this done, I reckon the refs would pull it back as they wouldnt know what the hell is happening
