The Parramatta Eels, with halfback Peter Sterling winning the Clive Churchill Medal, snapped Canterbury's three-peat Premiership bid in '86 with a 4-2 victory in the Grand Final.
It would be the third and final Winfield Cup the Eels would win between '82-95, but overall it would be their 4th Premiership in 6 years - '81, '82, '83 and '86.
