You have listed that the scrums were won by Cronulla 6-4. They were won by Canterbury 6-4.
An hours highlights of the game is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hlLjui0QSU
at 43:30 they give the scrums & penalties at the time & Canterbury were leading 5-2, so Canterbury have already exceeded the 4 you have listed. AFLTables has it as Canterbury 6-4. as well.

It's also what is in Middo's annual.

Last post by Max Turner - 18 December, 2025, 09:47:57 PMQuote from: Max Turner on 11 December, 2025, 06:04:46 PM- Jack McPherson's full name is Allan John Nelson McFarlane- Sorry, I must've been daydreaming for Jack McPherson, his full name should be Allan John Nelson McPherson.

Born 9 March 1922 in Moruya NSW, died 23 August 1996. Full name Athol Raymont Nixon- I can see Alf and Athol's profiles are now separated, but I don't think Athol's details were saved to his profile (also, yes, the middle name 'Raymont' seems to be the intended spelling)
- St George's George Davies, death date should be 28 July 1976 (instead of 29th)
- John Brierley's name should be Jack Brierley as his full name was actually just Jack Brierley. Additionally, his nickname wa1s Bot

Last post by GregRLP - 20 October, 2025, 12:43:10 AMIn the playoff I suggest as Don Rogers didn't play that Les Ewing was winger he is not listed in the paper as an injury therefore he didn't play rd 3 also SMH 18/3 says both teams used all their 4 replacements so I think Ray Payne was the 4th replacement and he wasn't a replacement in rd 3.
So I have updated RLP to reflect what I believe are the correct teams let me know what you think it all lines up with the annual report games.
