I think we can scrap Joe Regent's DOB entirely as it has come from the Wikipedia editor who hasn't been correct about any of them

- Jack Clare, born 17 June 1924 in Goulburn NSW, died 17 July 1993. Full name John Joseph Clare
- H Slater was Harry Slater. Born 1907 in Strood, Kent, England, died 17 December 1984. Full name Henry William Slater
- J Randall was Joe Randall. Born 9 August 1901 in Ryde NSW, died 18 April 1985. His full name was Joseph Colin Randall, but he was also known as Joseph Matthew Randall
- Johnny Bliss' death date should be 9 August 1974 (instead of 4th)

The name "Dan Little" appears in a few newspapers (1, 2, 3), but he should be Bert Little (4, 5, 6). I'm not sure if "Dan" was an error or a nickname. He was D. Little in team lists, but this might be in reference to his actual first name, David.

The Dan Little currently listed on the site doesn't appear to have left Casino, whereas Bert Little is living in the Balmain district and the reference [6] to him being married in 1941 lines up.

So Bert Little should be:
- Full name: David Herbert Roland Little
- DOB: 29 Dec 1911
- Birthplace: Balmain NSW
- Died: 18 Nov 1952

I had suspected Dan Little from Casino wasn't right, but full credit to Tony for this one. He solved it few months ago. He said he was going to email it around, but I think it's slipped his mind.
