Season summary

[edit]
  • This was Eastern Suburbs' worst ever season, failing to win a single match and finishing with the wooden spoon - the fourth in the club's history and its last until 2009. As of 2023, this remains the last time any team would go through an Australian rugby league season winless,[1] and no team would finish a season on zero points again until the Melbourne Storm finished last in the 2010 NRL season as punishment for gross salary cap breaches uncovered by the NRL in April that year.[2]
