What are the penalty options in rugby league?
i know how to play rugby union but i'm trying to learn all the rules to league and i wanted to know all the options when your team is awarded a penalty like in rugby union u can choose to punt, run, scrum, and sometimes a free kick. i'm not sure if league offers the same options or not.
Penalties operate in roughly the same manner as in union, but with some slight differences. Firstly, the implication is that a side either takes a tap kick or a shot at goal. They can kick for touch, but, if the ball makes it into touch, the side then takes a tap kick 10m infield (20m infield in the NRL as of 2007) from the point where the ball went into touch (except where it goes into touch inside the opposition's 10m line, in which case the tap is taken from the 10m line), as opposed to a scrum. They can also tap the ball from where the penalty was awarded. In both instances, the defending side must remain 10m from the ball until the tap kick is taken.
The penalty may also be place-kicked towards goal. If successful, the kicking side scores two points. If the kick is unsuccessful and the ball is caught by the opposition before it leaves the field of play, play continues. If the ball goes into touch-in-goal or over the dead ball line, then play is restarted with a drop-out from the offenders' 20m line.
Penalties may be awarded for:
Offside
Tackling an opponent above the shoulders
Tackling an opponent who is not in possession of the ball
Obstructing an opponent from tackling the ball-carrier
Failing to retreat 10m from an opposition play-the-ball
If marker at the play-the-ball, failing to stand opposite it
Not playing the ball correctly at a play-the-ball
Kicking the ball into touch, touch-in-goal, or over the dead ball line on the full from the kick-off
Crossing the goal line, not sending the ball ten metres, on sending it into touch on the full from a goal-line drop-out
tackling a player in mid air There is also a differential penalty, awarded for technical breaches when a scrum is packed (as opposed to foul play within a scrum). A penalty goal cannot be scored from a differential penalty.
I really should watch League more since i grew up only a short distance away from where League was created in Northern England, and this area of the country is Rugby League die hards, but i'm the opposite, i'm Union through and through
saying that though, i did take the time to Watch England batter France 56-8 at Rugby League last night
