Wests Red even finished undefeated in the under 6s when the side had a few different players; they were undefeated after being held to one draw.
Wests Red under eights coach Rodney Morgan says the players remain level-headed about their achievements and are just happy to play with their mates each week.
The team isn't the biggest or fastest in the competition but support each other and have a great understanding.
"They love playing together and each other's company," Morgan said.
This season the team won all 13 games; they scored a massive 402 points and conceded 180.
The under seven team also had 13 straight wins, scoring 432 points, with 138 conceded.
Wests Red were also the best defensive team in the under sixes, giving up just 70 points in their 11 wins and one draw.
To mark their undefeated season last year, each player in Wests Red under sevens was given a special commemorative jacket at the club's junior presentation. The players will all receive another jacket at this year's ceremony.
"At this age level there isn't grand finals so the jacket provided by Wests Leagues Club is a great concept, along with each player getting a trophy for playing during the season," Morgan said.
