ON the weekend, we set for a penalty kick at the southern end . M Hilder lined up the kick from approx 10 metres to the left of the uprights. The kick was pretty much a given two points. The roosters players were mostly gathered to the right of the uprights, the side hilder was kicking from. Their trainer was on the field and water bottles, at least 3 I could see were scattered on the ground, one in goal, the other two a metre or so in the field of play.

The roosters were clearly not interested in the kick and were mostly, as shown in a huddle.
Is there ANY rule that says hilder must make a valid attempt to kick the two points from this position ? He has the ball placed on the tee, moves in, but instead of kicking to the uprights, be kicks, for the CORNER. rugby union kick off style, Rieck flies through as opposed, or at the very worst, we have rieck, zuess, bails all bearing down on ONE rooster who shits himself as he realises whats going on ?
As long as the sharks chasers are onside, I dont see any problem, and instead of 2 pts, we take 4, kick to come !
If hilder kicks it along the ground, there is also a worst case scenario of a shock set on their line if we do not score, or catching the lone rooster in goal if he is lucky enough to clean up.
Thoughts ?
