Answer: Provan-Summons medal

The award voted by the fans for best and fairest. It was named after Norm Provan (St George) and Arthur Summons (Western Suburbs), from their memorable 1963 grand final pose. Churchill's South Sydney are no longer defunct.
Dally M's Eastern Suburbs are now the Sydney Roosters and will hopefully never be defunct. And although Mario Fenech's South Sydney were defunct and his Balmain and South Queensland are defunct, you could hardly call the Golden Falcon a prestigious award!

Answer: Manly-Warringah

Cumberland 'won' it in their only season (1908), the Dales 'won' it a few times, and University took it 10 seasons out of their 18! Manly-Warringah became defunct when they formed the Northern Eagles joint venture with North Sydney at the end of the 1999 season.

The joint venture lasted two season, and in 2002 Manly-Warringah again stood alone, becoming the "sole owner" of this NRL franchise.

Newcastle were a foundation club in 1908. They lasted through to the end of the 1909 season, and left to establish a local competition in Newcastle (the third biggest in the country behind Sydney and Brisbane). In 1988 Newcastle were "readmitted" into the competition as the Newcastle Knights, along with Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
