eason summary

Premiers North Sydney became the second team to go through a season undefeated - seven wins and an 8-8 draw with Easts in round 5. Their brilliant performance earned them their maiden premiership.

The premiership was decided with no finals on a first-past-the-post basis. Because of the departing Kangaroo tour in mid-July only one round of 9 rounds was played with the second round being devoted to the City Cup.

University became the second side to have gone through a season winless, as Annandale had done the previous year. University's season yielded 8 losses from 8 starts, conceding 295 points at an average of 36.88 per match.
