1918's New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership was the eleventh season of rugby league football played in Australia. Eight teams from across Sydney contested during the season.
eason summary
Both South Sydney and Western Suburbs dominated the season, dropping just two and three games respectively. With just three rounds to go, both sides met each square on 18 points each. A win for South Sydney would virtually guarantee them the premiership unless they dropped their final two games. At the end of the day, South Sydney prevailed 11-3 and went on to win their remaining games as well, taking away their fourth premiership from eleven starts.
The season also saw the struggling Dales fail to win a game from fourteen starts. It signalled the beginning of the downfall of the side, who would just play a further two seasons in the premiership.
The Western Suburbs club claim ther first title by winning the knockoout competition, the City Cup.
