1968 NSWRFL Season — Final Regular-Season Ladder
12 teams, 22 rounds, 2 points/win, 1/draw. Wikipedia and rugbyleagueproject.org agreed on every team's figures (arithmetically verified: total wins=138=total losses; total points-for=3912=total points-against), but disagreed on the tie-break order for 3rd/4th place: Eastern Suburbs and St. George both finished on 29 competition points. rugbyleagueproject.org's dedicated ladder.html page ranks Eastern Suburbs 3rd and St. George 4th (by wins); Wikipedia's table presented the reverse order (by points difference). This ladder follows rugbyleagueproject.org's canonical ladder page as the primary source; the discrepancy is noted for transparency.
