The rules of the game state, in the section on taking a Penalty Kick :
Position of Players 3. Players of the kicker’s team must be behind the ball when it is kicked.
Players of the team opposing the kicker shall retire to their own goal line or ten metres or more from the mark towards their own goal line and shall not make any attempt to interfere with or distract the attention of the kicker.
They may advance after the ball has been kicked.
The same rule applies to conversions (it states the opposition players shall remain outside the field of play).
Every kick that Sneyd took on Sunday, the Wakefield players set off forwards as soon as he started his run up. At times they were only 5 yards in front of him when his foot made contact with the ball. Personally I would like refs to take action on this, as we are not rugby union.
One day someone will miss a match-winning kick due to this interference.
Not disputing you might have a point but if your getting this angry after one game you might not see the season out. Relax and enjoy the good parts
