Last post by GregRLP - 11 July, 2026, 11:12:36 PM#18 for Cronulla is definitely Peter Ryan I suspect #17 is John Dennehy it looks like both Eric Archer & Ken Maddison were replaced at half time by #17 & #18 so both second rowers, Greg Mullane didn't play.

WS: Robbie Parker wore number 16 pictured at 2:00 + 2:38 scoring. 18. Ron Giteau (see 2:48 scoring) + 15. I assume is Rigney (see 3:10)
CS: 17. unknown (see 2:24), 18. unknown - not Mullane though (see 2:08)

ES: 15. (Is that Des O'Reilly who was a late replacement?- see 0:06 near ref), 10. Coote (see 0:20)
Newt: 14. Brian Plummer (see 1:29)
The above numbers except O'Reilly are what are listed in BL)

Feedback/Suggestions / 1975 Playoff Parramatta V West...
Last post by Ted Baxter - 09 July, 2026, 10:03:13 PMhttps://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/seasons/nswrfl-1975/playoff/parramatta-eels-vs-western-suburbs-magpies/summary.html
Parra: Gerard wore number 3. (see 0:03 + 0:36). There is a number 12. for Parramatta at 0:02, so I assume that is Webb. There is an 11 at 0:23, so I assume that is Charlton. At 1:15 there is a number 6, which I guess is McMartin.
WS: Tim Murphy wore number 20. (see 0:15 + 0:42 + Wests Archive about the no-try). There was a number 4. as seen at 2:06), I believe that is Parker & looking at his stats for that year, he wore number 4 all year except in the prior game which is probably an error as well.
All numbers for both sides except what changes were made above were sighted in the video including Wests replacements but not Parramatta replacement Atkins.

Last post by GregRLP - 09 July, 2026, 12:50:06 AMMy guess would be 15 Mal McMartin, 16 Mal Cheney, 17 Kevin Webb & 20 Tony Charlton the clip ends with Porter scoring which was Parramatta's first try after 20 mins so Baker is not in the clip.

Feedback/Suggestions / Round 22 1975 Norths V Parrama...
Last post by Ted Baxter - 08 July, 2026, 08:36:54 PMhttps://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/seasons/nswrfl-1975/round-22/north-sydney-bears-vs-parramatta-eels/summary.html
NS: 9. Walker (see 0:14 & BL). In the starting lineup I could verify all numbers but 18 Hope & 5. Adams, but as stated earlier, Norths players appear to keep the same jersey number all year in 1975. I couldn't see the replacement numbers.
Parra: 14. Gerard (see 0:22). In the starting lineup, I could verify 1,2,5,7,8,9 & 11. This leaves numbers for McMartin, Cheney, Webb & Charlton who were all late changes to the announced lineup. I could see the following numbers in the clip - 16 @ 22 sec, 17 @ 29 sec, 15 @ 40 sec & 20 @ 46 sec, though who is who someone else would be better placed to decide.
