What are the penalty options in rugby league?

Question

i know how to play rugby union but i'm trying to learn all the rules to league and i wanted to know all the options when your team is awarded a penalty like in rugby union u can choose to punt, run, scrum, and sometimes a free kick. i'm not sure if league offers the same options or not.

Answer 1

a penalty in league isnt really as much of a decision as it is in union, if you get a penalty, chances are you'll run it.  You can kick for goal if you're close enough or for touch if you're a ways back, but its really unlikely that a scrum will get called, just because scrums are a given, there arent any flankers and you put the ball under the locks feet.  So basically a scrum is just a run when the forwards are out of play.
