Defunct Clubs

Which team has a record win of 39-18 against Western Suburbs?

Defunct NRL Clubs (Fi B)


South Queensland. It was also their last premiership game, on the 31st August, 1997. The game was played at Lang Park, their home ground. The Crushers lasted 3 seasons, from 1995 to 1997.



Which prestigious award is named after at least one player from a defunct club?

Defunct NRL Clubs (Fi B)


Provan-Summons medal. The award voted by the fans for best and fairest. It was named after Norm Provan (St George) and Arthur Summons (Western Suburbs), from their memorable 1963 grand final pose. Churchill's South Sydney are no longer defunct.
Dally M's Eastern Suburbs are now the Sydney Roosters and will hopefully never be defunct. And although Mario Fenech's South Sydney were defunct and his Balmain and South Queensland are defunct, you could hardly call the Golden Falcon a prestigious award!



Which player became infamous for his white boots in St George's record grand final loss 38-0 against Easts in 1975?
