There were six sides competing, four from NSW and two from Queensland. They are all connected with traditional RL clubs so the names are familiar. They played each other once with four teams progressing to the finals and two ending their season at this point.
The two Queensland sides propped up the table and were eliminated. The Roosters looked strong in taking the title but at the lower end of the table Parramatta was lucky to sneak through on a favourable points differential.
In the finals, the top side Sydney Roosters took on the lowly Parramatta side but was surprisingly eliminated 10-24. Newcastle expectedly overcame St George 30-6.
The final was tight for much of the game, but Newcastle deservedly won 32-12, although the scoreline was somewhat flattering. Amazingly Parramatta only won two games out of seven despite making the grand final.
