Last post by GregRLP - 06 March, 2024, 12:24:19 AMYes Max I agree back when these games were done I was updating a spreadsheet and Andrew was inputting into the database my spreadsheets list R Johnson and Andrew has assumed this to be Ray Johnston by the look of it. I will update RLP to reflect these games as Dick Johnson.
Alternatively I suspect that the games listed against Dick Johnson for Newtown in 1934 are in fact Ray Johnston despite all media referring to him as R Johnson in 1934.

Feedback/Suggestions / Ray Johnston and Dick Johnson
Last post by Max Turner - 04 March, 2024, 11:14:41 PMNewtown lock Ray Johnston was born on 16 May 1915 in Petersham, NSW. He died on 1 September 1939. His full name was Raymond Keith Johnston.
The rep games on Ray's profile for 1938-1942, which were played at fullback, are listed in newspapers as R. Johnson, of South Sydney and later Cessnock. I believe this would be Dick Johnson, whose details are available from westsarchives.com.au. The profile R Johnson for Cessnock 1941 would probably also be Dick. (I'm guessing there was an assumption that 'Dick' was short for Richard, but this was not the case)

Last post by Max Turner - 03 March, 2024, 02:15:51 PMDoes the site intend to add country league stats eventually? If not, or perhaps in the meantime, is it possible to assign a player to a country club season by season to keep track of player movements outside of Sydney? The Country rep teamlists would then include which club each player was selected from in the same way Sydney clubs are listed on rep games.

Last post by Max Turner - 03 March, 2024, 01:53:27 PMThanks for the info Greg! For the game against Queensland, The Sun states S Elliott of Goulburn was selected, whereas the Yass Tribune says E Elliott of Goulburn.
This is the same inconsistency that happened when Snowy was selected in rep teams in May 1934: S Elliott of Leeton per Yass Tribune, and E Elliott of Leeton per Daily Telegraph, which is what made me think it was Snowy.
Wests Archives have done a great job of detailing Sid Elliott's playing history so no objections from me.

Last post by GregRLP - 03 March, 2024, 01:25:27 PMThanks Max but I'm just not sure about the Southern Districts game v Qld 17 May 1936 the newspapers all say Elliott in the centre is from Goulburn the Wests Archive bio for Sid Elliott details that he played in Goulburn in 1936. For the Southern Districts v England game newspapers say Elliott at 5/8 is from Leeton and played for Newtown in 1936.
So I believe for 1936 Sid Elliott played against Qld & Snowy Elliott played against England.
For the rest I agree it is all Snowy Elliott I will update RLP to show.
