- 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.

- Noel Behl, born 30 January 1908 in Eden, NSW, died 23 April 1977. Full name was Noel Sherd Behl.
- University's Laurie Doran should be Leo Doran (3). Born 7 October 1907 in Gosford, NSW, died 5 December 1976. Full name was Leo Francis Doran.
- Jack Fay was born in Randwick, NSW. Full name was John Patrick Fay.
- Jim Hinchley should be Jim Hinchey (4). Born 9 January 1911 in Paddington, NSW, died 30 May 1990. Full name was James Frederick Hinchey.
- Sid Mannix, born 13 July 1910 in Paddington, NSW, died 2 May 1986. Full name was Sydney Edward Mannix. His nickname was Bluey.
- L Powell was Lachlan Powell, born 11 February 1900 in Paddington, NSW, died 21 December 1954. Full name was Lachlan Sinclair Powell.
- Cec Rubie, born 29 March 1909 in Coogee, NSW, died 27 December 1978. Full name was Cecil Edward Henning Rubie.

- Jack Thom, born 18 October 1908 in West Wyalong, NSW, died 3 October 1993.
- 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.


- John Bassetti, born 9 October 1903 in Port Hacking, Sydney, NSW, died 29 September 1956. Full name was John Angelo Bassetti.

Last post by Paul Carter - 26 April, 2024, 03:38:24 PM
Sorry to point this out. I notice for the game between Sydney City and Western Suburbs at the Sydney Football Stadium on May 16, 1999.
-That you have Western Suburbs Winning 6 Scrums in that game.
-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.

Feedback/Suggestions / Re: More University players
Last post by Max Turner - 25 April, 2024, 08:57:35 PM
Some more University players from this period:
- Bill Brewer was born in Maitland, NSW.
- Griffith Duncan, born 22 July 1914 in Kurri Kurri, NSW, died 15 April 1988. Full name was Griffith Hammond Duncan. He was the brother of Rees Duncan Sr and uncle of Rees Duncan.
- Geoff Gartner, born 16 June 1913 in Canterbury, NSW, died 10 June 1999. Full name was Geoffrey Louis Gartner.
--Geoff was a first cousin of Joe Gartner, and therefore a first cousin, once removed of Ray, Clive, Keith, and Jim Gartner, and a first cousin, twice removed of Daniel and Russel Gartner.
--On Joe Gartner's profile, Jim should be Joe's nephew, not his son.

- Jim Gregan, born 3 June 1911 in Maclean, NSW, died on 3 June 1964. Full name was Owen James Gregan.
- Ross McKinnon's DOB should 12 April 1914 in Oberon, NSW.
- Rod O'Loan's full name should be Roderick John Charles O'Loan.
- Frank O'Rourke was born 18 January 1906 in Morpeth, near Maitland, NSW. He is the same person as AF O'Rourke who played for Other Nationalities (Frank was playing for Leeds at this time)
-- The 1921-22 Balmain fullback appears to have been a different person, J O'Rourke. Frank would've been aged 15-16 at this time.

- R Pedler was Rex Pedler, born 12 January 1913 in Adelaide, SA, died on 24 January 1943. Full name was Rex Angus Arthur Pedler. Pedler was discharged from the RAAF as medically unfit in September 1942 and subsequently died of tuberculosis four months later.
- D Peel was Don Peel, born 19 March 1912 in Sydney, NSW, died on 2 September 1970. Full name was Donald Alfred Peel.
- L Trives was Leslie Trives, born 23 October 1909 in Woollahra, NSW, died on 23 September 1963. Full name was Leslie John Trives.

- Frank Spillane, born 24 June 1903 in Balmain, NSW, died 30 October 1986. Full name was Francis Joseph Spillane.
- Jack Spillane, born 5 October 1908 in Petersham, NSW, died 23 August 1988. Full name was John Bernard Spillane.
-- Frank and Jack Spillane were brothers. They were also first cousins, once removed of J. J. Giltinan.
-- It might make sense to create a profile for Giltinan (even though he was never a player or coach) just to document this family connection? We could add a bio for Giltinan in the future.
-- If so, his details are: born 30 August 1866 in Sydney, NSW, died 6 September 1950. Full name was James Joseph Giltinan.

- R Frew was Rupert Frew, born 27 September 1912 in Forbes, NSW, died 16 November 1976. Full name was Rupert Lindsay Frew.
- Francis Lions, born 30 November 1901 in Perth, WA, died 13 March 1972. He is the same person as F Lyons who played for University in 1922.
- Dick Lynch, born 9 May 1912 in Chatswood, NSW, died 14 October 2003. Full name was Richard Charles Lynch. He was a nephew of Charlie Lynch.
- H Milligan was Herbert Milligan, born 6 April 1911 in Waverley, NSW, died 2 April 1956. Full name was Thomas Herbert Milligan.
