With the Rugby Football League's match review panel determined to stamp out foul play, some clubs and players have struggled to stay off the disciplinary radar.
As many as eight players were banned in the aftermath of round 22, including Castleford Tigers prop Liam Watts for a fifth time this season and Leeds Rhinos trio Rhyse Martin, David Fusitu'a and Aidan Sezer.
That leaves the Rhinos without all three players for this Friday's trip to Hull KR, and Fusitu'a and Sezer for next week's home date with Warrington Wolves.
Leeds have been heavily punished all year but how do their Super League rivals compare?
Here, The Yorkshire Post tots up the number of bans picked up by each club at first-team level and total matches missed, as well as in-game cards.
