I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but play continues after the hooter until the ball is no longer alive (ball goes to ground, tackle completed etc). So if an offence is committed in that period a penalty would still be valid.

Take the "wide to West" try as an example. That try was scored after the clock had run down because the ball was kept alive. If anyone had managed to get in a high shot on Chris Joynt it would still have been a penalty.

Now having said that, I'm frequently wrong so I'd welcome some input.

penalty was given before hooter anyway. Dobbo was pointing for the kick when hooter went.

correct

Just checked Dobbo's stats very impressive , great signing by Morgs. 2009 http://www.slstats.org/TopScorers/2009/Points.html 2010 http://www.slstats.org/TopScorers/2010/Points.html

Pretty sure thats correct yup.

Similar thing happened in the 2005 cup final (sticks in the memory for some reason ) Penalty to Hull 5 secs from the end, 12 players celebrating and Swain trying to calm everyone down to get the penalty taken after the hooter went.

Lol, yeah remember that, I think Cookie had a scarf round him and was hugging his family whilst the ball was still in play.

Must take balls of steel for any player to kick a conversion under pressure like that, Dobbo's was fantastic that kid can kick the ball.

Pish posh, would have bottled it if it was worth £2500.

seriously,it just shows if Dobbo could only just manage it,who the hell is going to kick the half time challenge from 3 meters further back? Now 40 meters might just be possible for someone.

I was saying that to my mate. Unless there's a massive back wind and you have someone who's played rugby to a good level no one will ever do it.

On the Dobbo kick, it was a good one, still think the one against warrington away after the hooter was a harder kick and more satisfying when it went over.
