Review
Newcastle absolutely dominated the regular season with their MVP Adam Smith and two Elites Gavin Rose and Malaki Patu. Brisbane, Rockhampton and Cronulla followed behind and could barely be split. The two Queensland teams led by Elitists Danny Milton (BRI) and Logan Peachey (RCK) proving the difference in positioning on the ladder but Cronulla commended for their incredible teamwork. Wests and Sydney rounded out the top 6 with above average performances and Gold Coast should find themselves unlucky to place 7th despite a good effort. Cairns had a season to improve on lead by star William Johnson and Townsville and Central Coast had one to forget. Only Brandon Wells (TWN) and Michael Wilkinson (CC) look certain to gain contracts beyond this year from the two cellar dwelling teams.

The Quarter Finals went almost as expected as Adam Smith proved too much for Sydney to handle and Brisbane winning a tight one against Wests. Jarryd Buckley inspired Cronulla to a golden point win over Rockhampton and again to close defeat of Brisbane in the Semi Finals. A quality match was played between Newcastle and Rockhampton which saw Newcastle emerge 6-5 victors in golden point after a frightening comeback.

Jarryd Buckley and Coach Sanchez did their best in promoting their team in the week leading up to the final but the star studded Novacastrians would not let this opportunity slip. Newcastle came out of the gates fast and hard to take a commanding lead. Cronulla only managed to score the last consolation point as Adam Smith and his team hoisted the trophy following a 7-1 victory.
