Semi-Final, 1942 NRL finals series: St. George 25–10 Canterbury-Bankstown, at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney, NSW on 22 Aug 1942.
Sourcing caveat: Canterbury's named scoring (Farrar and Newham, 1 try each, plus Johnson's 2 goals) reconciles exactly with the recorded 10. A second extraction pass of the source returned 'no Canterbury try scorers listed', contradicting the first pass - the first version (Farrar, Newham) is retained here because it's the only one that reconciles. St George's named scoring (L. Kelly 2 tries + Lindwall 5 goals) totals 16, 9 short of the recorded 25 - the source's further scoring could not be identified despite re-checking, an honest unresolved gap.
