1935 NSWRFL Season — Final Regular-Season Ladder
9 teams (Canterbury-Bankstown's inaugural NSWRFL season; University also competed). 16 rounds incl. 2 byes/team (byes worth 2 comp points each, reconciled via comp-pts = 2*(wins+byes)+draws). League-wide W=L=71, D=2 matches, PF=PA=2699 — fully arithmetic-consistent. Newtown (7th, +32 PD) ranked above St. George (also 20 pts, +172 PD) per source ordering — tie-break criterion unclear from sources (not points differential), retained as sourced. Grand Final: Eastern Suburbs def. South Sydney 19-3, consistent with ladder positions 1 & 2.
