| Wildcats claw their way to the top of the Frontline
Fairplay Index.
Following a busy Round 5 of the engage Super League, where player discipline was one of the main talking points, Wakefield Wildcats are the new leaders of the Frontline Fairplay Index.
They conceded just four points during their 22-20 victory over Hull KR making them the fairest team of the Round. This helped them overtake Bradford Bulls at the top of the Index.
In contrast Wigan Warriors had a poor disciplinary week conceding a total of 37 points in their loss away at Warrington Wolves. Richie Mathers’ sending off for a high tackle and subsequent three match ban, combined with a high penalty count, has meant that the Warriors have dropped from fifth in last week’s Index to eleventh place.
Catalans Dragons meanwhile remain bottom of the Index, although last week they appeared to clean up their act conceding just nine points in their narrow home loss to Bradford Bulls.
The engage Super league team which finishes at the top of the Frontline Fairplay Index at the end of the regular season will win a trophy as well as a £5,000 prize from Frontline Bathrooms who are leading bathroom suppliers to the bathroom industry.
The scoring system for the Frontline Fair Play Index in the engage Super League is:
1pt Technical penalty
2pts Foul play penalty
3pts Sin bin
4pts Sending off sufficient
5pts Each match ban (ie five matches is 25 points)
