1960 NSWRFL Season — Final Regular-Season Ladder
18 rounds, 10 teams, 2 competition points per win, 0 draws recorded all season. Positions 2-5 (Western Suburbs, Eastern Suburbs, Canterbury-Bankstown, Balmain) were tied on 22 competition points; the order shown is as published by rugbyleagueproject.org and does not strictly follow for-and-against differential or percentage — the exact 1960 tie-break rule could not be independently confirmed. Wikipedia's ladder table could not be reliably extracted via automated page-fetch (returned illegible/implausible data on repeated attempts), so it was discarded per verification protocol; Wikipedia's grand-final prose (St. George d. Eastern Suburbs 31-6) matched rugbyleagueproject.org exactly. All rows arithmetic-verified: total wins (90) = total losses (90); total PF (2830) = total PA (2830).
