The Wests Archives show Gary Gunton at fullback with Dick Pickett in the centre and John Armstrong & John Hayes as replacements.

I agree with what you have indicated as Gary Gunton was not selected in any grade that round so highly unlikely he played but can you please double check your footage.

Thanks

Feedback/Suggestions / 1969 Souths v Wests at Redfern...
Last post by ontheburst - 30 January, 2025, 11:54:12 AM
Sorry to do this to you Greg, have footage of this game with Rex calling.

Your numbering is correct except Barry Glasgow switched to 5/8 and wore no.3. There is no number 6 in footage

though there is a number 3.

This article from Friday's SMH would support the changes:


Western Suburbs last night swung hardrunning utility player John Armstrong into the centre for tomorrow's match against Souths at Redfern Oval. The selectors decided on the move when five-eighth Tim Murphy pulled out because of strained stomach muscles. Centre Barry Glasgow has been shifted to five-eighth, with Armstrong now partnering another powerful runner, Roy Ferguson, in the centre.


In the footage there is also a number 18 who is packing into scrums he came on for Noel Kelly who isn't in the scrum, the footage is from second half.

This player is John Hayes.

The team:

5 - Pickett

2 - Flanders

16 - Armstrong

4 - Ferguson

15 - Rogers

3 - Glasgow

7 - Maxwell

8 - Baker

9 - Cody

10 - Bryant

11 - Kelly

12 - Stonestreet

24 - Winter


Reserve:

18 - Hayes

I checked the Tooth Cup video and had a closer look Downie has wavey hair Folkes' was pretty straight the player at 0:50 mark seems to have straighter hair than Downie so I'm happy it is Steve Folkes.

So I have given Folkes jersey 15 so no idea what jersey Downie wore so I've given him 16.

Thanks.

OK, but he doesn't look like the Ray Downie I have in footage from R1 Tooth Cup 81 V Easts, R4 1981 V Balmain, R25 1982 V Wests, more Steve Folkes. :)

Thanks Ted I'm happy that 14 is probably Dave Moffett & 26 is definitely Stan Cutler but not convinced with the player closest to the camera at the 0:50 mark being Steve Folkes or that his jersey is #15.

From the only picture I can find of Ray Downie it could just as well be him and the jersey could be 15, 16, 18 or 19.

Steve Folkes was originally selected in no. 10, Dave Moffett reserve grade 11, Stan Cutler reserve grade 1, Ray Downie reserve grade 10.

In footage:

at 0.50 mark, the Canterbury player nearest to camera is wearing no. 15. I believe that to be Steve Folkes. The tackler is no. 14. It looks like it COULD be Dave Moffett.

at 0.54 mark, no. 26 comes into frame. I believe that this is Stan Cutler.

- A Ling was Allan Ling, born 8 February 1919 in Hamilton NSW, died 24 August 2006. Nickname was Snowy.
- Bruce Delavare has been misidentified (I think by a well-meaning user on Wikipedia). He should be Bert Delavere (note spelling correction for surname too). Born 22 May 1916 in Forest Lodge NSW, died 1988. Full name Albert Henry Delavere.
- Jack Charles (St George)'s DOB should be 7 June 1916 (instead of 17th).
- Les McWilliams should be Luke McWilliams, who appears to be the same Luke McWilliams that played for Wagga. Born 22 June 1906 in Sydney NSW, died 10 July 1989. Full name was Robert Boyd McWilliams
- Arthur Justice's DOB has come from Wikipedia. It should be 8 December 1902.
