Pointless thread, drop kicks after tries have been legal for donkey’s years. If was deemed more convenient than the ball being blown off the tee.

Yeah, cos that happens sooooooooo often!

It now just seems a case of the RFL being unable to update their own rules page.

Probably because the website is an absolute nightmare to even navigate around.
I use other RL sites to get my info,it's easier, and a hell of a lot quicker.

2017 International Rules...guessing that means UK comp as well...

6. A goal is scored if the whole of the ball at any time during its flight passes on the full over the opponents’ cross bar towards the dead ball line after being kicked by a player (and not touching or being touched in flight by any other player) in any of these circumstances:–
(a) by a place kick or a drop kick after a try has been scored and counts two points
(b) by a place kick or a drop kick when a penalty kick has been awarded and counts two points.

No, doesn't mean it applies to UK comps. RLIF, RFL and NRL laws all have differences.

I recall Marc Sneyd doing it at Saints a season or two ago. I didn't even know it was allowed until I seen it then.

Well it does (this specific rule), otherwise the McGuire DK was against the rules.
