Looking at stats in a bit more detail, there's some other interesting trends, other than discipline. In 2024, the number of red cards was an all-time high, as were yellows, with nearly twice as many yellows as in 2023! Also, the second-lowest scoring season, although that's not necessarily a bad thing.

21 red cards in SL last season, 3 in the NRL.

I wonder if this is punishment for voting against Woods return.

Well, Harry Smith had the worst disciplinary record in SL last year. And you might not think he's a 'dirty' player, but them's the facts.

Harry Smith’s certainly not any “grub” or dirty player. He’s very small which maybe makes him take some risks, putting his body on the line in stopping bigger bodies. This could mean he loses the correct technique in tackling these bigger players, often making it look far worse than it actually was.

Oh, absolutely, I agree with that. Playing in his position, Harry has big guys running at him, as all halves do. You expect halves to concede a fair few penalties; I'm sure Cam Munster does.

I seem to remember Harry losing his cool at times last season. Lots of niggly penalties at the PTB and some chat back to the ref. Other than that he's not a dirty player and he did seem to get a grip when it mattered at the end of the season.
