Super League has dramatically overhauled its disciplinary process for 2025, with a new points-based system that immediately puts several of the competition’s big names in danger of significant bans early into the season.
As revealed last week, players will now have points added to their personal tally every time they are charged with an offence. Grade A is worth one point, B is three, C is five, D is 12 and E means a referral to tribunal: meaning a likely end outcome of more than 12.

The Wigan Warriors forward has two serious charges against his name over the past year. The first was from the end of March, and the derby against St Helens following a Grade E head contact incident. On this year’s system, that is 12 points.
Add to that the three points for a Grade C head contact in May, and Byrne knows one mis-step in the first two months of the season would result in a two-match ban at a minimum.
