Brisbane Rugby League 1923, Round Eleven

Carlton vs Wests

This is the game where the much invoked ‘AN Other’ actually got a start. Wests were, through injuries and representative call-ups, scraping the bottom of the reserve grade barrel by this point and named an anonymous player for this game. The Courier called him “an emergency”, the Standard “AN Other” and the Daily Mail “A Fillup”. Who could our mystery man have been?
