The most ill-disciplined and error-strewn sides in Super League so far

[DaveO]

one thing i'd say generally is that it appears that there have been less players missing due to bans that have been dished out, however, we are still in the early part of the season, and i have a feeling that the back end could be disrupted as the points start to add up.

Was just thinking the same thing as the points add up. We could see multiple bans being dished out towards the end of the season. So for now fans are happy with fewer bans but what will potentially happen is a player will commit a minor foul get 1 point and be banned just when the payoffs start. Not sure fans will like that.

Then again if points get reset (do they, I do not know?) it is not beyond the realms of possibility a player tries to get banned before the payoffs start to reset the counter.

Yes the points do get reset (wiped) but only after 12 months, so if you get a 1 point in April, that drops off April 26, so basically its a rolling tightrope walking exercise by the looks of it and this paragraph i've copied below confirms it. This is the bit where i think the process falls down as you are basically being punished, and then again for a minor indiscretion if it takes you into the next points category. Plus, there are other factors, ie. if a player goes off injured, you can get an additional 3 points on top of the charge or if you pay a fine, it drops a couple of points off

"It’s important to note that points do not reset after a ban has been served so for example, if a player hits 26 points, they will serve a four-match ban. Upon returning to play, if they are charged with a Grade C offence (worth five points) then that takes them to a five-match ban automatically."

Points don't accumulate as much as it looked like though because you only accumulate 50% of the points you actually are punished with if you face any ban or fine. So 3 points that leads to a ban only accumulates 1.5 points on your record.

THE RFL introduced a points-based system in a radical overhaul of the disciplinary for the 2025 season.

The new system will only see players sanctioned when they reach a certain number of points, with charge grades now allocated points which players will accumulate and keep on their record for twelve months.

Points are allocated as followed:

Grade A – 1 point
Grade B – 3 points
Grade C – 5 points
Grade D – 12 points
Grade E – Refer to Tribunal

Here is the tariff for the points:

0-2 No further action
3-5 Fine
6-8 1 match suspension
9-11 1 match suspension and a fine
12-14 2 match suspension
15-17 2 match suspension and a fine
18-20 3 match suspension
21-23 3 match suspension and a fine
24-26 4 match suspension
27-29 4 match suspension and a fine
30-32 5 match suspension
33-35 5 match suspension and a fine
36-38 6 match suspension and a fine
39-41 7 match suspension and a fine
42-44 8 match suspension and a fine
45-47 9 match suspension and a fine
48-50 10 match suspension and a fine
51-53 11 match suspension and a fine
54+ 12 match suspension plus and a fine

However, when an offence adds points to a player’s record that leads to the player receiving a sanction – either a fine or a suspension – the number of points added to their record for that offence will be reduced by 50%.

This is to recognise that the player has previously served a sanction however there remains a percentage of points on the player’s record to acknowledge that they have committed previous misconduct.

85 Super League players have received points so far this season, with one club having 11 players currently on points.
