St George Illawarra beat Parramatta 37–0 at Kogarah to claim their first minor premiership since 1985. Five-eighth Jamie Soward breaks Harry Bath’s club record for most points in a season (225 in 1958; Soward finishes the year with 234). However, the Eels stun the Dragons 25–12 in the first week of the finals, and a loss to Brisbane six days later ends Saints’ season
