Minor Semi-Final, 1976 NRL finals series: Canterbury-Bankstown 25–9 St. George, at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney, NSW on 5 Sep 1976.
Sourcing caveat: Canterbury's confirmed named scorers total only 19 of their recorded 25 points (6-point/2-try gap, unresolved by the source). St George's named scorers (3 tries + 2/2 goals = 13) actually overshoot their recorded 9 points -- an internal inconsistency in the source between the try count and the final score that is reported here rather than silently corrected by guessing which figure is wrong.
Scorers
| Canterbury-Bankstown | Tries: Bob McCarthy (3) Goals: Don Moseley (5/6) |
