The Blacktown Workers first season in The Intrust Super Premiership NSW as the Sea Eagles, was a disappointing one as they finished the season in 10th place and missed out on the finals series.

In 2018, the Blacktown Workers missed out on the finals for a second consecutive season after finishing 9th on the table. At the end of the 2019 Canterbury Cup NSW season, the Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles endured a tough season finishing last on the table and claiming the wooden spoon with just six wins all year. The Ron Massey Cup side also had a tough season finishing 9th on the table and missing out on the finals. In the 2022 NSW Cup season, Blacktown Workers finished last on the table and claimed the wooden spoon after winning only two matches for the entire year. The 2022 Ron Massey Cup side also had a poor year finishing second last on the table. The 2023 season proved Blacktown's most successful to date after the regular season finishing in fifth position and making it to the finals. The 2024 season, their final season as the Sea Eagles, saw the team miss out on the finals again, finishing in ninth position.
