I've has a closer look into the White family thanks to Tony McCarron & Max Turner and we have found that this article from the Bulldogs is wrong on a couple of points Lloyd White was 81 when he died in 2016 not 85 he was born in 1935 also only Jack White was his brother Laurie White was no relation.

In regard to Jack White RLP had him playing for Newtown in 1951 before joining Canterbury but this was a different Jack White who came from Cessnock and returned to the country in 1952.

Well n the end it looks like some clarity has been found on these players & the information is now more accurate which is what we all want.

Great work all.
