Steve Folkes was originally selected in no. 10, Dave Moffett reserve grade 11, Stan Cutler reserve grade 1, Ray Downie reserve grade 10.

In footage:

at 0.50 mark, the Canterbury player nearest to camera is wearing no. 15. I believe that to be Steve Folkes. The tackler is no. 14. It looks like it COULD be Dave Moffett.

at 0.54 mark, no. 26 comes into frame. I believe that this is Stan Cutler.

Thanks Ted I'm happy that 14 is probably Dave Moffett & 26 is definitely Stan Cutler but not convinced with the player closest to the camera at the 0:50 mark being Steve Folkes or that his jersey is #15.

From the only picture I can find of Ray Downie it could just as well be him and the jersey could be 15, 16, 18 or 19.

OK, but he doesn't look like the Ray Downie I have in footage from R1 Tooth Cup 81 V Easts, R4 1981 V Balmain, R25 1982 V Wests, more Steve Folkes. :)

I checked the Tooth Cup video and had a closer look Downie has wavey hair Folkes' was pretty straight the player at 0:50 mark seems to have straighter hair than Downie so I'm happy it is Steve Folkes.

So I have given Folkes jersey 15 so no idea what jersey Downie wore so I've given him 16.

Thanks.
