1951 NSWRFL Season — Final Regular-Season Ladder

18-round regular season, 10 teams. South Sydney finished minor premiers by an 11-point margin, losing only once. Wikipedia's ladder table failed to extract cleanly (logo-icon HTML broke the fetch); ladder sourced from rugbyleagueproject.org and verified: total wins (89) = total losses (89); total PF (3229) = total PA (3229). Grand Final (South Sydney d. Manly-Warringah 42-14) confirmed via Wikipedia prose.
