The last grand final Balmain appeared in was the 1989 loss to the Canberra Raiders in which they had a lead of 12-2 at halftime. By the end of the second half Canberra managed to level the score and won the game in extra time. This was a shattering loss for the Tigers after having lost the previous grand final to the Canterbury Bulldogs
