Minor premiers Canterbury won the Grand Final on the back of a strong performance from Josh Reynolds who scored two tries and set up a third. The Bulldogs dominated the first half, scoring 16 unanswered points, setting up the victory with a strong defensive display. Windsor playmaker Maurice Blair was forced from the field early in the second half after suffering a suspected broken jaw, after fighting with Bulldogs interchange player Corey Payne. The second half was played in heavy rain, and Windsor threatened to come back into the contest with 20 minutes remaining when Jesse Sene-Lefao caught a pinpoint Craig Trindall kick, but the contest was over when Reynolds scored his second try from a 90-metre intercept.
