Feedback/Suggestions / Re: 1935 Newtown players
Last post by Max Turner - 17 November, 2024, 09:11:23 PM
- George Debnam, born 11 October 1920 in Goulburn NSW, died 16 October 2011.
- A Debnam was known as Alf, born 3 July 1917 in Goulburn NSW, died 24 August 2004. Full name Alfred William Debnam.
- The comment on George's page about playing for St George RU and Newtown RL concurrently should actually be on Alfred's page.
- Keith Froome's DOB should be 20 August 1920 (instead of 1921). Full name should be George Keith Froome (instead of Keith George)
- I agree that the correct name is Adrian Gleeson, rather than Alan Gleeson, however his DOB should be 26 July 1915 (instead of 1917). Wests Archives reports 1917, but Adrian's birth record is #38239/1915 and his grave says he was 58 when he died in 1973.
- Alan Hodgins' first name should be Andy (1, 2). Born 24 June 1916 in Newcastle NSW, died 16 July 1977. Full name Andrew Robert John Hodgins.
- Thomas Dawson, born 12 July 1917 in Newtown NSW, died 7 October 1997. Full name Thomas Haig Dawson.
- Frank Mulville, born 8 August 1915 in Maclean NSW, died 17 June 2003. Full name Francis James Mulville, nickname was Podgy.
- Jim Scoular, born 22 October 1921. The death date currently listed is for a different James Scoular. The correct date is 16 August 2011.
- Roy Street, born in Kurri Kurri NSW. Full name Roy George Street.
- Bill Raby, born 26 January 1917 in Young NSW, died 15 June 1988. Full name Charles William Raby Jnr
- Leo Ryan, born 20 April 1921 in Holbrook NSW (near Albury), died 17 June 2011. Full name Thomas Leo Ryan, nickname was Joe. Brother of Bill Ryan (Wests, St George) and Mat Ryan (St George)
- William Van Rugge: it appears van Rugge with a lowercase 'v' was the preferred spelling. Born 4 May 1921 in Petersham NSW, died 1997. Full name William Christian van Rugge

These have now all been updated along with all the 1997 Super League games with the half time scores and corrected scrum & penalty counts for some reason most of them were wrong.

Quote from: Max Turner on 29 September, 2024, 12:44:46 PMRound 16: Eastern Suburbs vs Penrith (17 June 1984)
As best I can tell, this game is the difference between whether Royce Simmons played 237 or 238 games for Penrith. A lot of sites list this game as one of Simmons' 238 games for Penrith, whereas RLP has Craig Connor as starting hooker (and therefore 237 career games for Simmons).

RL Tables lists Simmons as hooker, while @roofromoz's site has a discrepancy on whether he played (counted here towards Royce's 238, but Simmons not listed in the match page).

It appears to me Simmons did not play in this game, so RLP is correct, unless anyone has differing information. @Paul Carter?

Or maybe someone has another explanation to bring Simmons up to 238 games on RLP. Otherwise the recent reporting from the club and the media were unfortunately incorrect in listing Simmons with 238 games.

Some relevant excerpts from the Sydney Morning Herald:

Quote from: Sydney Morning Herald, 13 June 1984PENRITH: M Levy (c), B Lobb, R Gigg, K Wolffe, B Gonzales, B Izzard, G Alexander, P Burgmann, G Howell, W Fenton, J Vitanza, C Connor, M Goodwin.

...

Penrith provided a surprise last night when they selected their talented lock Craig Connor as hooker for Sunday's match against Eastern Suburbs at the Sports Ground. Connor has impressed as a lock and, with Royce Simmons in the State side, coach Tim Sheens decided to utilise the hooking talents he displayed on a New Zealand tour of the State Under-18 team four years ago.
Quote from: Sydney Morning Herald, 18 June 1984Their usual skipper, Royce Simmons, who will hook for NSW in the State of Origin match against Queensland at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday night, was impressed. "They really played well - particularly in the second half," Simmons said.


Thanks for bringing this to my attention - the results link corresponding to that 1984 match doesn't have him on the match list.

I'll add this to my off-season list of housekeeping amendments. :)

Yes Tony is providing details of players based on his research over a number of years which I'm added into the database.

Hi @GregRLP, good question...

Percival Victor Hill appears in electoral rolls living in Cremorne throughout the 1930s (and many years after that), whereas Victor Owen Hill shows up at Dulwich Hill (1934-35) and Lilyfield (1936). I'm afraid to say this might have been what misled me.

This is Victor Owen Hill's service record with the RAAF. It shows his address was in Drummoyne and he served in Laverton, Victoria about 1927-28. This seems reasonably consistent with this article (although it mentions Point Cook airbase instead of Laverton airbase).

I have now found V. O. Hill appearing in team lists for Manly RU (which was just a week before Vic Hill made his change to North Sydney RL).

So, I agree Vic Hill's correct details should be:
- Victor Owen Hill
- Born 20 December 1904 in Leichhardt NSW
- Died 2 June 1990
- Nickname of Albo is still correct
- The additional info about him playing RU for Victoria and NSW is still correct, but he would have been aged 27 when he changed codes

My apologies for the error, and thanks to the person (Tony McCarron?) who noticed it!
