Notable player

Newcastle born Clive Churchill was graded as a fullback with Central Newcastle in 1946. He played for Country Seconds in 1946 which brought him to the attention of talent scouts from Sydney and he eventually signed with NSWRFL team South Sydney from 1947.

Churchill, who would be dubbed "The Little Master" would amass one of the most impressive records in Australian Rugby League history.
