Season Summary
The season only lasted eight rounds in 1937 due to the Kangaroo tour, and used a 'first past the post' system to determine the premiers. There were no Finals. The second half of the season was taken up with a City Cup competition.
Eastern Suburbs won their 7th Premiership going through the season undefeated - a feat achieved by teams in only five other seasons before or since. At the end of the season the University club withdrew voluntarily from the premiership, having won only two matches in four years.

Famous quotes containing the words season and/or summary:
“The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us part, ere the season of passion forget us,
With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping brow.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
