Thanks Ted I did see that this morning someone has updated his Wikipedia page with a DOD of 25/2 so I'll add that date until someone advises otherwise.

The Canterbury club has announced the death of Bob Hagan although no date of death has been listed as yet. He was 85.

I think we can scrap Joe Regent's DOB entirely as it has come from the Wikipedia editor who hasn't been correct about any of them

- Jack Clare, born 17 June 1924 in Goulburn NSW, died 17 July 1993. Full name John Joseph Clare
- H Slater was Harry Slater. Born 1907 in Strood, Kent, England, died 17 December 1984. Full name Henry William Slater
- J Randall was Joe Randall. Born 9 August 1901 in Ryde NSW, died 18 April 1985. His full name was Joseph Colin Randall, but he was also known as Joseph Matthew Randall
- Johnny Bliss' death date should be 9 August 1974 (instead of 4th)

All updated but I have left Joe Regent's DOB as is until you can confirm one way or another. Thanks

- K Burton's name was Keith. Born 19 June 1922 in Glebe NSW, died 25 September 2012. Full name Keith John Burton.
- H Wasson's name was Harry. Born 19 December 1915 in Annandale NSW. Full name Henry David Wasson
- Cecil Foster, DOB should be 2 August 1920 (instead of 20th)
- Charlie York, DOB should be 14 May 1902 (instead of March)
- Bob Nielsen, full name Robert Stanley McFarlane Nielsen
- Reg Snowball, full name  Reginald George Snowball
- Greg Stokes, full name Thomas Gregory Stokes
- Abe Hall, born in Young NSW
- Stan Ponchard, born in Balmain NSW
- Des Ponchard, born in Cooma NSW
- Sid Ryan, born in Balmain NSW
- I think the Dubbo 1936 player was probably Eric Bennett (NSW, Wests) instead of Edward Bennett (Balmain 1943)
- Joe Regent's DOB has come from Wikipedia, so it's not reliable. As far as I can tell, his birth was possibly unregistered (but I'll keep looking to confirm).
- Fred Woolley's DOB should be 5 March 1880 (instead of 7 May 1879 - not sure where this completely different date has come from). His death date should be 17 January 1955 (instead of the 18th). I've discussed this one with Tony and will be updated in his spreadsheets.
