I'm very surprised too. It's one of those things I just thought everybody knew or would have picked up on when watching games and seeing drop goals on TV etc.

If the ball must bounce for it to be considered as a drop goal, wouldn't that be a knock on?
I seem to remember McGuire a few years ago having a drop goal crossed off for that very reason.
Wasn't that the try at Wigan where he knocked on then kicked it?
IIRC they said after the game that the try should have been awarded.
I think in that case it should have been play on as he was intending to kick it, compared to (for instance) the Saints try disallowed v Leeds this year where the Saints player dropped the ball onto his leg with no intention to kick it.
