Feedback/Suggestions / Re: 1969 Souths v Wests at Red...
Last post by ontheburst - 07 February, 2025, 08:07:04 PMThanks Greg.
Originally I spoke with Tony.
Gunton didn't play as I sent Wests Archives the programme with Gunton penned in for the game against Manly in R1.
My final thoughts are 18 looks like Kelly physically, the question is why is he wearing No.18?
Could it be his jersey was torn during the game?
Another option is Hayes started and Kelly came on to replace him. However this hasn't been reported in newspaper reports so unlikely.
Personally I don't believe Hayes played as I can't see anyone who looks like him.
I've sent you an email and will send footage.

Last post by GregRLP - 05 February, 2025, 10:03:26 PMThanks it would be good to see for myself I have also been corresponding with Tony at the Archive he told me you had made contact he has the same footage and says he thinks #18 is Noel Kelly and that John Hayes didn't play(or at least is not shown in the video) so are you still certain #18 is Hayes and you don't agree with Tony?
As I don't have the footage I have can't offer an opinion if you can email the footage to gfiveash@bigpond.com would be great.
In respect to Gunton we have agreed he didn't play this game and that Dick Picket was fullback and John Armstrong started in the centre so they will update their game details soon just waiting some other members of the archive to agree who #18 is.

Last post by GregRLP - 05 February, 2025, 09:44:05 PMThe article says Tanner Stowers-Smith is Pat Smith's great-grandson and that Jamayne Isaako his Stowers-Smith's cousin not that Jamayne Isaako is also Pat Smith's great-grandson, they may be cousins but on another side of the family.
I have updated the details otherwise.

Feedback/Suggestions / 1969 Canterbury v Norths Belmo...
Last post by ontheburst - 05 February, 2025, 07:39:54 PMNorths John Sullivan wore no.10 not 36
Dick Harris the replacement hooker for Norths wore no.52
For Canterbury Ray Strudwick wore 45.
These all can be seen in clip I have of game. Sullivan being a tryscorer.
