Major Semi-Final, 1958 NRL finals series: Western Suburbs Magpies 34–10 St. George, at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney, NSW on 30 Aug 1958.
Sourcing caveat: Western Suburbs' named scorers (Peter Dimond 2 tries + Darcy Russell 8 goals = 22) fall 12 points short of the recorded 34, roughly 4 further tries unaccounted for -- three separate targeted attempts, including a literal row-by-row transcription request, could not surface further names. St George's figures reconcile exactly.
