1962 NSWRFL Season — Final Regular-Season Ladder
18 rounds, 10 teams, 2 points per win + 1 per draw. Positions 9-10 (North Sydney, South Sydney) tied on 10 pts, listed in source order. Wikipedia's ladder table could not be reliably extracted via automated page-fetch, so it was discarded per verification protocol; Wikipedia's grand-final prose (St. George d. Western Suburbs 9-6) matched rugbyleagueproject.org exactly. All rows arithmetic-verified: total wins (83) = total losses (83); total PF (2585) = total PA (2585).
