NRLW heavyweights Brisbane will miss the finals series for the first time in the competition's history after a 28-16 loss to Parramatta in Gosford.
Brisbane — who won the first three NRLW premierships — finished with a 1-4 win-loss record to complete a fall from grace that started with an early exit from last season's finals.
In the second match of the NRLW triple-header at Central Coast Stadium, the Sydney Roosters defeated Gold Coast 38-12 to finish the regular season undefeated and become the first side other than Brisbane to clinch an NRLW minor premiership.
