Western Suburbs made it two premierships in succession, after defeating favourites Eastern Suburbs in an anticlimactic decider.
Easts' solitary point was a field goal by second-rower John Payne, who temporarily gave Tigers the lead in the first-half.
Man of the match Gary Prickett scored the opening try for Wests, with lock John Ribot scoring the second just before half-time. Wests lead 12–1 at half-time and effectively repelled all Easts' efforts in the second-half.
The match was virtually without incident. The most blatant was a high tackle by John Payne on Wests' prop, Max Williamson. Williamson had to be helped from the field, with Payne receiving a long lecture from referee Bernie Pramberg.
