Thanks Ted I think you're right, pity we can't see Pattison's number better so I have now given him #20.

Feedback/Suggestions / Match Official Data

Last post by AJ Lucantonio - 07 May, 2026, 03:55:17 PM

Hi all

As you would've started to see across the website, especially across the more recent seasons we have started to add in match official roles (namely touch judges and video referees) on-top of existing referee data we have.

If you have anything to assist or improve our record-keeping in this area, feel free to post in the forums about and we will address it when we can!

Thanks in advance
AJ!

After looking at the video I think Greg Nixon is #15.

Steve Anderson(#4) & Ian Forrest(#6) were originally selected at centre & 5/8 but neither started the game. Jersey #15 is on the field when Gardiner scored in the 4th minute so it must be Greg Nixon as John O'Connor(long blonde hair) is later seen in #4, Steve Anderson has much darker hair than O'Connor so it can't be him.

I can't spot #6 jersey in the clip so it looks like Nixon started the game at 5/8 in jersey #15, John O'Connor started the game in #4(originally allocated to Anderson) and Anderson is not seen in the clip as he came on the field after Glen Mortimer scored his try in the 75th minute.

Wests: 21. Brett Gale, 22. Peter Lamb

Parramatta: 14. I am guessing is Wayne Morrow, 15. possibly Brad Williams, 19. I think Mark Laurie, 20 something is Mick Pattison. Some Parramatta people out there should be able to do better than me.

were brothers.

Pat died in a boating incident in 1978 or 1979 depending on the source. It was in the off-season.

Perhaps somebody can identify number 15 for Cronulla
