- Francis Lions is the same person as F Lyons, with Lions being the correct spelling (1, 2).
- Also, Frank O'Rourke's birthplace is currently listed as Moranbah, Queensland due to Morpeth (near Maitland, NSW) not being in the database.

- It appears J Wherret should be spelled Wherrett, but I haven't been able to identify him (yet). Being an uncommon spelling, I think I've found the family he belongs to but I couldn't find anyone with a 'J' name. Several people in this family attended the University.

-Western Suburbs actually Won 7 Scrums in that game. Not 6.
-You also have Sydney City Receiving 8 Penalties in that game.
-Sydney actually Received 12 Penalties in that game. Not 8.
-Also for Western Suburbs. You have Adam Donovan Wearing No. 5. Barry Davis Wearing No. 6. Leo Dynevor Wearing No. 7.
-Donovan Wore No. 19. When he played Winger for Western Suburbs in that game.
-Davis Wore No. 5. When he played Five-Eigth for Western Suburbs in that game.
-Dynevor Wore No. 6. When he played Halfback for Western Suburbs in that game.

Thanks again Max. I have updated all and have added a profile for JJ Giltinan.

Also fixed Frank O'Rourke games I found the Balmain player in 1921/22 is Jimmy O'Rourke.
