1975 NSWRFL Season — Final Regular-Season Ladder
22 rounds (round-robin, each team played each other twice), 12 teams. 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw. Western Suburbs finished 5th on differential but were docked 1 competition point for fielding an ineligible player, reducing them from 22 to 21 points. Full ladder verified against Rugby League Project only (Wikipedia's ladder table could not be reliably extracted); Grand Final result, top-5 order and the Western Suburbs penalty note were independently cross-confirmed against Wikipedia text. Grand Final: Eastern Suburbs defeated St. George 38-0.
