From Kevin Sinfield to Marc Sneyd, Super League has been littered with quality goal kickers throughout it’s 30-year history.
Turning fours into sixes is not just an incredible skill but one that is vital for teams if they are to be successful. When those big games come around, it can be one conversion that seals the game, and on the flip side one missed conversion could be all is needed for a team to come out second best.
After eight rounds of Super League in 2026, we have taken a look at which team is hitting the target when it comes to conversions and penalty kicks, and who is wide of the mark.
One team have a success rate as high as 88.5%, whilst others are down in the low 60’s. One team though have a success rate of exactly 50%, something you wouldn’t expect given their place in the league table.

13th: Leigh Leopards – 15/24 – 62.5%
Adrian Lam has been very vocal about his sides efforts in front of goal as of late, with the Leigh boss saying that missed conversion in their Challenge Cup defeat to Warrington Wolves was a “big factor” in why the side lost.
Adam Cook has been Leigh’s sole kicker in Super League, though should he be required Gareth O’Brien can also take conversions should the club need him to.
12th: Toulouse Olympique – 17/27 – 63%
After winning their first two matches upon returning to Super League, Toulouse have hit a roadblock and are now winless in their last six matches.

10th: York Knights – 19/27 – 70.4%
York’s drop goals take the credit in wins over Hull KR and Hull FC, but they may not have been in the position to take those one-pointers if the two-pointers weren’t converted earlier in the game.
Knights’ injuries have meant that a total of five players have kicked for them in the league so far, with Danny Richardson slotting over the most with 12.
9th: Huddersfield Giants – 20/28 – 71.4%
Huddersfield’s issues in the early part of the season hasn’t been converting tries, but scoring them in the first place.
Prior to Luke Robinson’s exit, the club scored just 10 tries in the league, and whilst it has improved with spine players returning, there have still been a number of missed opportunities which Giants should be taking.
8th: St Helens – 29/40 – 72.5%
Paul Rowley’s side sit just under the average goal-kicking success rate in Super League (73.2%), with Jackson Hastings mainly taking responsibility for conversions this season.

7th: Catalans Dragons – 27/35 – 77.1%
Toby Sexton has enjoyed a solid start to his sole Super League season, both with and without the tee.
Partnering Lewis Dodd in the halves, the pair have shown glimpses of what they can do in attack, and they will hope for more efforts like their second half showing against Warrington over the weekend.
6th: Hull KR – 29/37 – 78.4%
Mikey Lewis and Rhyse Martin have shared the goal-kicking role this year, whilst full-back Arthur Mourgue is another man who is excellent from the tee.
Lewis has kicked 16 from 22 so far, whilst Martin has knocked over 13 from 15 attempts.
5th: Warrington Wolves – 39/49 – 79.6%
As mentioned in the intro Sneyd is one of Super League’s best ever when it comes to goals kicked,

Youngster Ewan Irwin isn’t too bad a kicker himself, converting 15/19 attempts.
4th: Castleford Tigers – 20/25 – 80%
Tom Weaver has been Tigers’ sole kicker this season, and in his first year in Super League has got off to a great start when it comes to the tee.
