Oberon was captain-coached by former NRL forward Josh Starling for 2019, who previously played for South Sydney, Manly and Newcastle.

[4] However, Oberon's record run on seven consecutive Group 10 premierships would come to an end, as Bathurst St Patrick's managed a narrow 9−8 win in the 1968 decider.

The club would then go on to struggle for many years and left Group 10 Rugby League in the early 2000s, joining the second-tier Mid West Cup for several seasons, before returning to the top-flight in 2012.

Oberon would pull-off another signing coupe when it recruited former NRL playmaker Luke Branighan to the club for the 2017.

[7] Branighan had spent the past four years as the coach of Group 9 Rugby League club Young Cherrypickers.

[9] However, the Tigers was unable to match its 2017 run and were knocked out of the finals in the opening week by eventual premiers Bathurst Panthers.
