Semi-Final, 1929 NRL finals series: Newtown 8–7 St. George, at Earl Park, Arncliffe, NSW on 7 Sep 1929.
Sourcing caveat: Two successive extraction passes of the source page swapped Lind's and Guest's goal counts (1 and 2) before the combination used here — Lind 1, Guest 2 — was confirmed as the only one that reconciles both teams' scores simultaneously. Flagged as resolved only after correcting an apparent cross-team mix-up in the raw extraction.
