-That the Scrums were 16-14 Western Suburbs way.
-The Penalties were 17-9 Western Suburbs way.
-Laurie McMahon had 8 Attempts at Goal.
-Darcy Russell also had 8 Attempts at Goal.
-Sorry to point this out. I notice in that game for Western Suburbs. That you have Johnny Thompson Wearing No. 2. Bill Owens Wearing No. 9. Doug Hambilton Wearing No. 10.
-Thompson Wore No. 16. When he played Winger for Western Suburbs in that game.
-Owens Wore No. 26. Hambilton Wore No. 9. When they both played Second-Row for Western Suburbs in that game.
-This is also how 12 of the Newtown Team were Numbered for this game.
