Pitbulls defeat Knights to go top

This year was played without the North Brussels Gorillas; in 2016 the NRLB championship was launched which consisted of only Dutch clubs. The Grand Final was hosted at Dordrecht, where the Rotterdam Pitbulls and the Den Haag Knights fought for victory. Ultimately the Rotterdam Pitbulls triumphed with a 42-16 win. The great efforts in developing a new club in Harderwijk paid off when the Harderwijk Dolphins played the Amsterdam Cobras as a curtain raiser before the 2016 Grand Final. The newcomers even managed to upset the Amsterdam Cobras with a 32-28 win.
