Finals
Qualifying finals
For the first time since the McIntyre final eight system was implemented, all the top 4 ranked teams won in the first week of the finals.
The Wests Tigers , playing their 300th premiership match, broke their club record for most consecutive wins by winning their 9th successive game.
As well as amassing their highest score in a finals game, the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles scored the most points in a single half of finals football, coming from 8–0 down at half-time to win 42–8.[ 10]
Semi finals
For the second time in three seasons Brisbane and St. George Illawarra met in the same stage of the semi-finals. As they did in 2009, the Broncos won the match, albeit in extra time, thus ending the Dragons' coaching career of Wayne Bennett . It was also in exactly the same stage in 2008 when his coaching stint at the Broncos came to an end, at the hands of the Melbourne Storm , in a controversial semi-final. It would not be until 2015 that Bennett would win a finals match at Suncorp Stadium .
As of 2023[update] , this is the most recent time that the Wests Tigers has played a finals match.
Preliminary finals
Melbourne became the first minor premier since Parramatta in 2005 to lose a preliminary final. As well as this, it was their first ever loss in a preliminary final.
Grand final
