1992 NSWRL Winfield Cup — Final Regular-Season Ladder
16 clubs. Commonly referred to as the "1992 ARL season" though the competition was still formally branded the NSWRL Winfield Cup at the time. A 22-round regular season.
Sourcing caveat: Gold Coast's competition points (11) reflect a 2-point deduction for a breach of the replacement/interchange rule in a Round 3 match against Illawarra — their on-field record (6 wins, 1 draw, 15 losses) would otherwise have yielded 13. The deduction did not change their ladder position (still last). Brisbane Broncos won their first premiership, beating St George 28-8 in the Grand Final having also finished minor premiers.
