Feedback/Suggestions / Re: 1935 University players
Last post by GregRLP - 15 April, 2024, 01:08:32 PM
Thanks Max I have now updated all of these.

@Ted Baxter Greg Sullivan is a bit of a weird one in 1931 to 1933 he was a hooker in 1934 he only played reserve & 3rd grade always in the backs or 5/8 in 1935 he played his 3 1st grade games as a lock but seemed to have played wing in reserve grade in 1936 as C Sullivan he played wing in 1st grade then as G Sullivan also wing in reserves.

Is this G Sullivan the same person 1931-1936 or 2 different people 1931-1933 & 1934-1936?

I'd suggest M Timbs was Maurice Timbs. He appears in university examination results which were published in the newspapers during that period. His details are available here: Maurice Carmel Timbs, born 14 July 1917 in Glen Innes, NSW, died 6 December 1994.

Thanks, Max. That helps me.

Sullivan was listed as C.Sullivan in round 2 1936 & G.Sullivan in subsequent rounds.

Did you find anything for M.Timbs who played in 1937 in the City Cup?

You have listed that number 16 Jayden Tanner played in this game. He was never used as an interchange in this match.

This game appears to be missing the HIA replacement for Canterbury. No. 21 Jeral Skelton who was activated after Ryan Sutton was fouled by Taane Milne in the 10th minute & was unable to resume. Milne went to the sin bin for his shoulder charge.

There does not seem to be any other K Murray who played with Randwick over this period there was a J Murray who was a forward who played in 1934, K Murray seemed to have played reserve grade in 1934 then 1st grade in 1935 and that he moved to League in Aug. In 1935 as a Rugby Union player he seems to be referred to as Ken never Keith except this article in the Sporting Globe 1935 Jun 19. It was only the RLN article that refers to him as Ken following his move to League

So I think as a new player he was initially thought to be Ken then when he made the switch to Rugby League it was realised his name was Keith so I agree Ted he is Keith.
