  • For the second time in three seasons Brisbane and St. George Illawarra met in the same stage of the semi-finals. As they did in 2009, the Broncos won the match, albeit in extra time, thus ending the Dragons' coaching career of Wayne Bennett. It was also in exactly the same stage in 2008 when his coaching stint at the Broncos came to an end, at the hands of the Melbourne Storm, in a controversial semi-final. This meant that Bennett is still to win a finals match at Suncorp Stadium.
