Last post by Max Turner - 03 June, 2025, 11:46:03 PMYes, I think F Gill and N Gill were his brothers Frank (1) and Neil (2, 3), so their surname should be Gil with one 'L' as well.
Alan's death date is still showing to me as 4 April 2025, which was when it was announced by the QRL. The funeral livestream showed his death was quite a bit earlier, on 19 March 2025.

Last post by GregRLP - 03 June, 2025, 11:17:12 PMI have update Alan Gil in the FNQ teams and added his DOB, any idea if the N Gill in the 1966/67 FNQ team is a relation and should be also spelt Gil with the one L?

Unfortunately, they do not provide a date.
According to Maher Cup sites, he played for Young circa 1961.
Perhaps somebody who knows how to find this date could help.

Last post by GregRLP - 17 May, 2025, 11:19:25 PMYes in the SMH on Tue 5 Sept Braybrook is nominated for the Friday 8 Sept Challenge Cup 2nd Semi-Final Norths v Canterbury game and Kevin Roberts the Thursday 7 Sept 1st Semi-Final Souths v Balmain.
However all newspapers on Thursday list Braybrook as referee for the Thursday night Souths v Balmain game and the Daily Mirror on Friday lists Doug Wintin as the ref for the Friday Norths v Canterbury game.
