Match Notes
Arthur Tuohey is listed in the program in jersey#13 & John Whitfield in #36 however newsreel footage of the game shows Tuohey in #25 and Whitfield with no number.
The program lists Don Manson in #25 for Souths as a reserve but from photos #25 is clearly not Manson.
Note: Forward packs are listed in reverse order.
