Round 6, 1947: Easts 30 Parramatta 17

Expansion of the competition was almost immediate following the devastation of World War II, with Parramatta - along with Manly-Warringah – entering the NSWRL in 1947, and Eastern Suburbs would meet the blue and gold in the early stages of that season.

Having already defeated the other newcomers just the week before for their first win of the season, Easts continued their winning run with a 30-17 win at Cumberland Oval in Round 6.

The Tricolours gained an early lead at half-time up 16-7, and in a six tries to three encounter, ran away as Premiership-winning centre Paul Tierney (playing in the halves) and lock Jack Arnold both scored doubles.

Winger Tommy Kaine and centre Norm Rogers also found themselves on the scoresheet with three-pointers of their own, as fullback Vic Bulgin plotted six goals.
