When Kicking can I place the ball on top of an opposition player? If so what happens?

If you are using our newly launched Version 3 Advanced Kicking rules  then you can certainly place the ball on top of opposition players. In this case it is considered that the ball is automatically caught - no dice roll is needed.

This approach is a great way to target specific players in the opposition team and line them up for a big hit!

Surely if I score under the posts the conversion kick should be a lot easier?

Absolutely. If you score on the red space under the poles the conversion is considered to be unmissable and the points are automatically awarded.

If I kick the ball must I place the ball 14 spaces or can place it 5 spaces if I want?

You can kick the ball up to 14 spaces so you can place it anywhere from 1 to 14 spaces away.
