Think about the table for a minute
Why was Cumerland the only team to only play 8 games when every other team played nine? That's because Cumberland came into the comptition in round 2 on May 9 and was given two points for a round one bye and was later give a second bye on August 8. In researching our book on 'The History of Rugby League Clubs' (New Holland, Sydney 2004) Ian Collis and I found a newspaper clipping of a ladder showing Cumberland with TWO byes .. this means they did not finish with the wooden spoon.

- I reverted basically because the table coding was a little stuffed up. But nevertheless, why would the league award a new team with 2 points in a round they never played? That seems kind of unfair to the teams that did compete in round 1. I'm sure this wasn't the case... mdmanser 12:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
The reason to award a new team a round 1 bye was to ENCOURAGE the club to enter the competition ... it was not particulalry fair that Cumberland only had eight games while every other team played nine, either. Theoretically, Cumberland could have been disadvantaged in making the top four becuase of this anomally of only playing eight matches. Whatever the reason, you can't rewrite history ... the NSWRFL awarded Cumberland two byes and the club did not finish last despite the fact that most modern writers / statistions ASSUME that the Cumberlanders had one bye like every other club.

Alan's published work which cites this fact is an abundantly adequate source reference. unless md you have some citable basis for your comment "I'm sure this wasn't the case " ? -Sticks66 (talk) 13:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Remington Gilbert
I'm doubtful about the addition of Ben Remington and Mat Gilbert as Roosters centres and think this might be vandalism. Please add a citation or asset the verification here or I'll revert in due course. -Sticks66 (talk) 21:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
