2010 NRL season
Encyclopedia
The 2010 NRL season was the 103rd season of professional rugby league football club competition in Australia, and the thirteenth run by the National Rugby League
. The season commenced on 12 March and ended with the Grand Final, played on 3 October at ANZ Stadium. Sixteen teams competed for the 2010 Telstra Premiership whilst the third season of the National Youth Competition was also in progress.
The 2010 season was affected by the Melbourne Storm
's admission in April of systematically breaching the salary cap. As part of the NRL's imposed penalties, the Storm were deducted all 8 competition points earned at the time of the announcement, and were barred from receiving points for the rest of the season, guaranteeing them the wooden spoon. Further, they were stripped of their 2007 and 2009 premierships, as well as their 2006, 2007 and 2008 minor premierships. There was no ramification regarding the 2010 World Club Challenge Cup, won in February 2010, the runners-up status of 2006 and 2008 and eligible Storm players were still considered for selection for Test/Origin matches as well as for the Dally M Awards
.
The premiership was won by the season's minor premiers the St George Illawarra Dragons
, becoming first title achieved for the joint venture club shared between the St George Dragons and the Illawarra Steelers
. The Dragons also became the first minor premiers since Penrith
in 2003 to complete the minor premiership and premiership double and became only the third team (the other team being the Brisbane Broncos
who completed the double twice, in 1998 and 2000) to complete the double since the NRL's inception in 1998.
defeated the Leeds Rhinos
18-10 in the 2010 World Club Challenge
. The inaugural All Stars match
took place on 13 February at Skilled Park, Gold Coast
, where the Indigenous All Stars team won 16–12.
Significant dates throughout the season include the annual ANZAC Test
and City vs Country Origin
weekend, resulting in a shortened round in early May. Byes
take place throughout the State of Origin
period between Rounds 11 and 18 (during June and July). The annual heritage round takes place again in Round 10, a round celebrating Women in League has been earmarked for Round 16, and later in the season a round has been set aside to celebrate Indigenous Australians.
For the second successive year the St. George Illawarra Dragons took out the JJ Giltinan Shield for winning the minor premiership.
The overall attendance record during the regular season was 3,151,039, an increase on last year's record of 3,081,874. This was the second consecutive year that the rugby league attendance record has been broken.
On 7 September 2010, Sydney Roosters' five-eighth Todd Carney
won the coveted Dally M Medal
for Player of the Year for season 2010 and was also awarded the people's choice Provan-Summons award (see 2010 Dally M Awards
for full award listing). It was a remarkable return to the field for Carney who in 2008 was sacked by the Canberra Raiders
and deregistered by the NRL for the 2009 season for repeated off-field indiscretions.
was implemented so that if a player in possession of the ball made contact with the corner post that player would no longer be considered to be touch in-goal. Proponents of the move argued a series of possible future scenarios made this preventative measure necessary, with ARL
chief executive Geoff Carr
stating, "no one has thought of the possibility of using the corner post as a weapon to defuse a try and we want to stop it before they do". One scenario was that a defending player might manipulate the corner post to put an attacker out of play. Another concern cited was that the corner post might be made to make contact with a rolling ball to ensure the defending team gains possession with a 20 metre restart. Corner posts, which sometimes lean to one side, have no upper height limit set and this led to a fear that corner posts might become "long rubber snakes, biting attackers and sending them into touch", in the words of Roy Masters. Other laws concerning the corner posts remained unchanged. A ball that makes contact with the corner post while not in the possession of a player will be deemed to be touch in-goal as before. There was no attempt to remove the corner posts from the playing field as they are used to promote sponsors and are also a useful aid for players to judge their kicks. The change was agreed by the NRL Board and approved by the RLIF
as an experimental rule. Implementation occurred mid-season following feedback from clubs.
As a result of this confession, the following penalties were imposed by the NRL:
The Storm accepted this decision without question;, however, the former directors of the club took legal action which later collapsed. The matter has been referred to ASIC, Australian Tax Office, the Victorian State Revenue Office, and the Victoria Police.
For the record, Melbourne finished the 2010 season with a 14-10 win-loss record which would have seen them finish 5th disregarding the punishment, with Manly
missing the finals. The Cowboys finished the 2010 season with a 5-19 win-loss record; the worst record for any team for the third year in succession.

, three from Queensland and one from each of Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory
and New Zealand. Of the ten from New South Wales, eight are from Sydney's metropolitan area, with St. George-Illawarra being a Sydney and Wollongong joint venture. Just two foundation clubs from New South Wales Rugby League season 1908
played in this competition: the Sydney Roosters
(formerly known as Eastern Suburbs) and the South Sydney Rabbitohs
.
.
Only three teams from 2009's finals series made an appearance in the 2010 finals race: St George Illawarra Dragons
, Gold Coast Titans
and Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles
, with only the Dragons managing to not drop positions from last year. Major improvements saw the Canberra Raiders
, New Zealand Warriors
and Sydney Roosters
make a return to the finals after finishing 13th, 14th and last in 2009. This season also saw the Wests Tigers
and Penrith Panthers
make their long awaited return to the finals race, with the Tigers last featuring in their grand final year of 2005 whilst the Panthers last appeared in the 2004 season.
The 2010 Grand Final
took place at ANZ Stadium on Sunday 3 October between the Sydney Roosters
and the St George Illawarra Dragons
. It was the first time since their defeat by the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs in 2004 the Roosters featured in a grand final, whilst the first since 1999 for the Dragons, who were beaten by the Melbourne Storm
as a result of a memorable penalty try. During the course of the 2010 season, both Grand Final teams had led for all but one round of the season (the Melbourne Storm
led the competition after round 4). The Roosters were first after rounds one and two, whilst the Dragons were first after round three and then from round five onwards.
The St George Illawarra Dragons
won their first premiership title as a merged entity of the St George Dragons and Illawarra Steelers
. This meant the St George Dragons achieving their first premiership title since 1979 whilst it is the first ever for the Illawarra Steelers.
Overcast and wet weather conditions generally favoured the Dragons defensive style. St George Illawarra overcame a 2 point half-time deficit to seal a 32-8 win to leave the Roosters without a win in their past 3 grand finals (2003,2004,2010). The grand final loss also left Roosters coach Brian Smith without a win in his 4 grand final appearances as a coach.

Melbourne Storm salary cap breach
On 22 April, Melbourne Storm officials confessed to the NRL that the club had committed serious and systematic breaches of the salary cap regulations for the last five years by running a well-organized dual contract and bookkeeping system which left the NRL unable to know of $3.17 million in payments made to players outside of the salary cap, including $550,000 in 2007, $965,000 in 2009 and $1.03 million in 2010.As a result of this confession, the following penalties were imposed by the NRL:
- The Storm were stripped of their 2007 and 2009 premierships and their 2006–2008 minor premierships; these titles will be withheld, rather than be awarded to the respective grand finalists (Manly & Parramatta) and runners-up. The Storm however have been allowed to keep the 2010 World Club Challenge title that they won two months earlier.
- The Storm were fined a record $1.689 million: $1.1 million in prize money which will be distributed equally between the remaining 15 clubs, $89,000 in prize money from the World Club Challenge which will be distributed to the Leeds Rhinos, and the maximum of $500,000 for breaching the salary cap regulations.
- The Storm were ordered to cut their payroll by $1,012,500 by 31 December; failure to do so will result in the club being suspended from the 2011 season.
- The Storm were deducted all eight competition points received during the 2010 season and barred from receiving premiership points for the remainder of the season.
The Storm accepted this decision without question;, however, the former directors of the club took legal action which later collapsed. The matter has been referred to ASIC, Australian Tax Office, the Victorian State Revenue Office, and the Victoria Police.
