Super League bad boys: Leeds Rhinos prop up disciplinary table - but how do other clubs compare?

Disciplinary has been a hot topic in Super League in 2022 with an unprecedented number of bans dished out.

The Rugby Football League's match review panel has clamped down on foul play, leading to confusion and frustration among players, coaches and fans.

Four more suspensions were issued after the latest round of fixtures with St Helens losing Sione Mata'utia and Morgan Knowles.

Castleford Tigers' Cheyse Blair received a two-game ban following his red card against Warrington Wolves, while Salford Red Devils prop Sam Luckley picked up a one-match suspension for a trip in the win over Catalans Dragons.

Every team has been affected this season but there is a big difference between the best and worst behaved clubs.

Here, The Yorkshire Post tots up the number of bans picked up by each Super League club this season.
