There are just two competitions in the season, the league (Lge) and finals (Fls). The majority of the clubs are located in Sydney, with others scattered along the Eastern Seaboard and New Zealand. The last three years have seen a shift in which club is leading the way.
Twenty points for the top side in the league, going down to one for the wooden spoon winner. The Finals tops at sixteen and goes down to four.
League: Penrith has won two of the last three titles as well as a second so have been the most successful with 58 points. Melbourne is next with 50 with a title, second and an uncustomary fifth. The only other club to make the top two in a season is Cronulla-Sutherland, which they did in 2022.
Finals: Penrith are again ahead of the rest with two wins and a second. South Sydney (28) move into second ahead of a downward heading Melbourne (26), although the latter have at least won a grand final. Paramatta (20) made the grand final this year.
Total Points: Penrith (102) are clearly the best side over the past three years, with Melbourne (76), South Sydney (65) and Paramatta (61) doing their best to stay with them. Who would bet against Penrith in 2023?
