Last post by GregRLP - Today at 12:50:52 AM
Referee was Wal Sneddon from Taree he also refereed the GB v North Coast game and the City II v Country II games in 1954 we had him wrongly as Bill Sneddon I have now corrected their details.

I have the GB tour numbers I will be added them soon.

Jersey numbers according to the program:

NC: Sneddon was initially a reserve but no number on program, 13. Fred Brown, 12. Bob Crane, Jack Mantle not listed, 10. Tom Pitman, 11. Doug Hawke, Gus Gray like Sneddon, reserve, no number.

GB: 8. Lewis Jones, 5. Doug Hreenall, 7. Ernie Ashcroft, 6. Phil Jackson, 24. Nat Silcock, 11. Ray Price, 14. Gerry Helme, 20. Jack Wilkinson, 17. Tommy Harris, 21. Brian Briggs, 16. Alan Prescott, 22. Geoff Gunney, 26. Dave Valentine.

I am assuming that the GB side were given tour numbers & played in the same number every game. The program lists all the numbers if you want to complete all the games, let me know.

Referee: It says J.Sneddon. I think you accidentally put in the player Bill Sneddon as a player & referee. Touch Judges: W.Wheatley & W.Jackson.

W.Jackson POSSIBLY:

Last post by GregRLP - 17 June, 2026, 11:47:32 PM
It's a fairly common going way back to 1908 that players would change positions mid game or a replacement would come on and require positional changes or players would swap positions continually throughout a game I know Manly had been doing that with Kola & Faulalo in some games recently.

I feel we can only go off the latest team list as published at the time when the players take the field. So in this case it appears the team list was never changed Dykes was listed at fullback and Cochrane 5/8 if that's not how they played then we can only go by what is documented

As far as I'm concerned it's fairly general practice to go through the teamlist as chosen or displayed on the graphics at a televised match.

Honest question; is this from say NRL time onwards? The reason I ask is that there have been plenty of changes in 80s games & there was a time when Brian Smith used to name a team & then make 5 or 6 positional changes to try & fool the opposition. He did this regularly.
