1943 NSWRFL Season — Final Regular-Season Ladder

8 teams, 14-round home-and-away season (April-September), the 36th season, wartime year. Wikipedia's fetch did not return a full ladder table, only confirming Newtown finished top after a dramatic turnaround from second-last the prior year, and that Newtown and Balmain finished level on points requiring a playoff. Corroborated exactly by the Rugby League Project ladder used here (Newtown and Balmain both on 21 points), arithmetically cross-checked (total wins=53=total losses; total points-for=1367=total points-against). Grand Final: Newtown defeated North Sydney (3rd) 34-7 at the SCG before a record crowd of 60,922; Canterbury-Bankstown, the defending premiers, finished last (wooden spoon).
