A possiblilty is that something happened to his original jersey & this was a replacement.
Nice pick up Ted no one else was listed in Big League in jersey #35 so I'd assume he started in #10 the switched at some stage for whatever reason.
I've made a comment in the match notes for that game.
Just watching some highlights from this game, there was a Roosters player on the field who wore number 13 before Brass' first goal which was at around 11 minutes. I assume this is Ken Jones because Frier did not come onto the field until around the 65 minute mark. That then leaves the question of what number did Laurie Frier wear?
Thanks Ted so then if Jones wore #13 Freier would have worn another number so according to the SMH he was used as a replacement and played 15 mins of the reserve grade semi before also being used as a 1st grade replacement, there was no reserve allocated #43 so I will assume he used this number until someone proves otherwise.
That's the same number I pencilled in in my notes.
I have 8mins of footage of this game.
I can confirm Greg Bandiera started the game in no.10 however during a mass brawl in the first half after Bandiera flattened Brian Lockwood, Bandiera's jersey was completely torn on the back, hence the change to number 35. It is also noted on the scoreboard along with Johnny Peard's coming on in 44.
Ken Jones wore 13. Unfortunately I could see no footage of Freier.
You can see Bandiera's jersey torn in this photo.

Thanks Ted I have noted in the match notes Bandiera's change of jersey.
Further on Freier this match report confirms he came on in the 65th min, no mention of number though.
