Behind import duo Cotton and Prather, and with Gleeson’s vision realised, the Wildcats won eight of their remaining twelve regular season games, including two must-win encounters in the final round to squeeze into the post-season. From there, the Wildcats rolled through the finals undefeated, sweeping the Cairns Taipans in the semi-finals and then sweeping the Illawarra Hawks in the grand final series. The Wildcats went back-to-back for the first time since 1990/1991, while Gleeson became the first coach to guide the Wildcats to back- to-back championships—Cal Bruton was coach in 1990, while Murray Arnold was coach in 1991.
