2006 Super League — Final Ladder
St Helens won the League Leaders' Shield for the second successive year and completed a domestic treble by also winning the Grand Final and that year's Challenge Cup — their fourth Super League Grand Final title (after 1999, 2000 and 2002).
Sourcing caveat: Bradford Bulls' and Wigan Warriors' competition points both reflect in-season 2-point salary-cap breach deductions — Bradford's raw record (16 wins, 2 draws) would otherwise total 34, reduced here to 32; Wigan's raw record (12 wins) would otherwise total 24, reduced here to 22. Catalans Dragons, in their debut Super League season, were exempt from relegation as an expansion club despite finishing bottom; Castleford Tigers (11th) were relegated instead. "Harlequins RL" (7th) is London Broncos' name for this era (2006-2014) — 2006 was the first season under that name.
