Notes on the final ladder:

1. This ladder reflects current methods of points allocation and percentage, to be consistent with ladders for other seasons on this site.

2. It should be noted the ladder in the Sydney Morning Herald (page 4, 31 July 2005) contains the following differences:

-- Two points are awarded for a win rather than four points

-- 'Goals for and against' are listed rather than 'Points for and against'

-- The total 'Goals for and against' for all clubs do not balance in the SMH ladder

-- Percentages are not listed, and the order of the clubs equal on points is errant (Redfern is incorrectly listed in fourth place)

-- An extra win and two points have been allocated to each club for the bye received in Rounds 1 to 9. This is reflected in the 'Bye' column in the above ladder.
