1946 NSWRFL season

Eight teams from across the city contested during the season which culminated in Balmain’s victory over St. George in the premiership final.

Eastern Suburbs’ Lionel Cooper took out the New South Wales “Player of the Year” award.

This proved costly for Newtown, who were narrowly beaten by Canterbury-Bankstown in the semifinal eliminator, meaning they were out of the competition.

In spite of St George’s status as minor premiers, Balmain were Grand Final favourites due to their comprehensive routing of the Dragons in the first semi-final.

Goals: Bourke 2 ) defeated St George 12 (Tries: J Lindwall 2, Jones, Munn) The following statistics are as of the conclusion of Round 14.
