Yeah, I had Gillogly in my stats which I got from the Sun & Mirror newspapers from the time as well. The footage can change things. The Bulldogs Database shows Mark Hughes as well.

Thanks Ted I'll make the changes, The Sun states that Tom Gillogly replaced Peter Winchester at the 68th minute I assume with the mud and the high numbered jerseys things were a little confused in identifying players.

https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/seasons/nswrfl-1974/round-10/newtown-jets-vs-canterbury-bankstown/summary.html

Scrums: 10-all
Penalties: Newtown 14-12

Goal Kicking
New: Ken Wilson 2/4, Henry Williamson 0/2
CB: Henry Tatana 0/2, Don Moseley 0/1

Jumper numbers: (Note it was a heavily muddy field)
Newtown - all correct.
Canterbury - Barry Phillis started in 12, but wore 52 in the second half (as you have noted), Tom Gillogly was NOT a replacement - it was clearly Mark Hughes who wore jumper number 51, along with Don Moseley who you correctly have in jumper 53.

I would suggest that the reserves wore their fresh jerseys in the second half of the reserve grade hence why the numbers in the 50s for the replacements.

Henry Tatana was sent off for kneeing but was cleared by the judiciary.

Source: DVD of the game.

The name "Dan Little" appears in a few newspapers (1, 2, 3), but he should be Bert Little (4, 5, 6). I'm not sure if "Dan" was an error or a nickname. He was D. Little in team lists, but this might be in reference to his actual first name, David.

The Dan Little currently listed on the site doesn't appear to have left Casino, whereas Bert Little is living in the Balmain district and the reference [6] to him being married in 1941 lines up.

So Bert Little should be:
- Full name: David Herbert Roland Little
- DOB: 29 Dec 1911
- Birthplace: Balmain NSW
- Died: 18 Nov 1952

I had suspected Dan Little from Casino wasn't right, but full credit to Tony for this one. He solved it few months ago. He said he was going to email it around, but I think it's slipped his mind.
