    Seems quite inconsistent given the JOB try ruled out for a kick too far off the mark by the tmo

    In the SP to JOB incident, SP did not kick through the mark where the penalty was awarded. He kicked from a spot parallel to the mark.

    When you consider that most, if not all, penalty kicks from hand are actually kicked from 2 to 3 metres in front of the mark and that this is never acted on by referees it makes that decision seem pedantic.

    highly pedantic, but it was Ben Whitehouse after all, the most pedantic pedant that practises pedantry. How could Prendergast kick through the mark when Whitehouse was literally standing on it and in the way.

    it was a good lesson for Prendergast though. he needs to be more vocal to the refs and ask them to move

    We see 10s try this crossfield kick, but it has to be done quickly and quietly. Engaging with a referee in order to have them move away from the mark kinda gives the opposition a heads up. The lesson for 10s is to kick from directly behind the mark, and not from either side of it. Similar to 9s taking quick taps.
