Super League Disciplinary: The most ill-disciplined teams revealed

Super League disciplinary has been a hot topic this year. Salford Red Devils and Wigan Warriors are in the top four for most penalties against according to Sky Sports, but the stats reveal Super League’s most ill-disciplined teams.

Hull FC, who find themselves near the bottom of the table after a disappointing start to 2024, can say they’re top of some tables, although not the ones they’d like to lead in.

They’ve given away 43 penalties in the first five rounds of the season, and have been given seven cards – the most of any team in the league.

They’ve also, with three, been given the most red cards, including Franklin Pele and Ligi Sao against Hull KR in the opening game of the season.

Leigh Leopards, Leeds Rhinos and Salford Red Devils are joint-top for the most yellow cards, with five each.
