Hull FC ended the Super League season top of the division’s card table, shown the most of any club in the top flight this term by a comfortable distance with 23.
A total of 163 cards were shown across 162 Super League games this term – with play-off matches not counting towards our tallies, making Hull responsible for over 14% of the total cards.
In a dismal campaign which saw the Airlie Birds finish 11th, only avoiding the wooden spoon by the virtue of points difference, they received 19 yellow cards and saw a player dismissed four times.
Two of those red cards came on the very first night of the Super League season, with both Franklin Pele and Ligi Sao given their marching orders during a 22-0 defeat on home soil against rivals Hull KR.
FC’s last card of the campaign was yellow, and was shown the way of mid-season recruit Jed Cartwright in the closing stages of their 68-6 drubbing at Headingley against Leeds Rhinos in Round 25. Cartwright had already been sin-binned once in that game!
