With Parramatta, Balmain and Wests all finishing on 21 competition points, two playoffs were used to determine outright fifth place. One team, drawn out of a hat, would have the luxury of playing the winner of the first playoff match. Balmain's name was drawn, but they lost to Parramatta who beat both sides in three days to earn entry into the finals series.
