The 1992 New South Wales Rugby League premiership was the eighty-fifth season of professional rugby league football in Australia. Sixteen teams competed for the J J Giltinan Shield and Winfield Cup during the season which culminated in a grand final between the Brisbane Broncos, making their grand final debut, and the St. George Dragons.

eason summary

Twenty-two regular season rounds were played from March till August, resulting in a top five of Brisbane, St. George, Illawarra, Newcastle and Wests, who battled it out in the finals.

The 1992 season's Rothmans Medallist was the Brisbane Broncos' halfback and captain, Allan Langer. The Dally M Award went to Eastern Suburbs' halfback, Gary Freeman, while Western Suburbs forward Paul Langmack was named "Rugby League Week's" player of the year.

The 1992 season also saw the retirement from the playing field of future Immortal, Wally Lewis.

Teams

The lineup of teams remained unchanged from the previous season, with sixteen clubs contesting the 1992 premiership, including five Sydney-based foundation teams, another six from Sydney, two from greater New South Wales, two from Queensland, and one from the Australian Capital Territory.

Grand Final

The Brisbane Broncos became the first team from outside of the boundaries of New South Wales (excluding the Australian Capital Territory) to win the premiership, defeating the St. George Dragons in their first ever Grand Final. In their fifth year in the NSWRL, Brisbane finally put together the right combination to eclipse all their New South Welsh club rivals. Their big names in Langer, Renouf, Hancock and Lazarus had been unstoppable all year and helped the club power their way straight through the finals.

Brisbane tormented the Dragons in the 1st half of the decider, leading 6-4 at half time. In the 2nd half the Broncos ran away with the game. Langer got the first two tries for Brisbane and Cann got their third to take the score to 18-4. A scintillating 90-metre try to Steve Renouf was a defining moment in the game and the Broncos' season to make it 22-4. The final score was 28-8 and the win enabled captain Allan Langer, in his first year in the role, to hoist the Winfield Cup and bear the trophy and title back to Queensland. As a result of his his two-try performance, Langer became the first Queenslander to be awarded the Clive Churchill Medal.

Brisbane 28 (Tries: Langer 2, Cann 2, Renouf; Goals: Matterson 4/5)

St George 8 (Tries: Walford, Gourley; Goals: Herron 0/2 )

World Club Challenge

On the 31st of October the Broncos played in the World Club Challenge against British champions, Wigan at Central Park. Brisbane became the first team since 1975's premiers, Eastern Suburbs, to defeat the English champions and the first to do so on English soil, winning the match 22 to 8 in front of 17,460 spectators.
