Grand finals were run and won today in Canberra and Melbourne.
Here is a wrap of how they turned out.
JOHN I DENT CUP
The Tuggeranong Vikings have secured their seventh John I Dent Cup in ten years after a dominant 29-19 win over Royals at Viking Park.
The Vikings turned in a strong first half and led 22-3 at the break, with man-of-the-match Noah Lelesio leading the side well and halves partner Ryan Lonergan also influential.
When winger Andrew Robinson collected his second try with a long-range effort in the 60th minute, the Vikings pushed out to a commanding 29-3 lead and looked home and hosed.
