Brisbane Rugby League 1933, Round Fourteen

Easts vs Wests

This game caused quite a furore. Easts were one point ahead of Norths with one game to go, but had to play the minor premiers and defending champions, Wests, in the final round. Norths had to beat Brothers to be any chance, and they did. But the Wests team was not their best 13 – with the right of challenge secured, they opted to rest some of their best players, including Purtell, Wright and Jones, though it wasn’t exactly a second-string or weak team. Nonetheless, Wests were booed off the Gabba, there was much grumbling in official circles and even a threat of an official inquiry, but in the end it all came to nothing. Norths were out.
