 The club took out the minor premiership thanks to a sensational 24–12 victory over arch-rivals South Sydney in front of over 59,000 fans in the final round.This was followed by a rugged 4–0 victory over the Manly Sea Eagles in the qualifying final, which was the lowest scoring finals match since 1992.Incredibly, this was the sixth time that season that the Roosters had held the opposition scoreless which is an NRL record.
