As of 14 May 2020

Donald Manson (29 July 1918-13 May 1993) was a rugby league player who played for South Sydney on the wing from 1937 to 1939.^[3]

Rugby league career

He made his debut in round 1 of the 1937 season against University.^[3] In his first two matches he scored six tries, the last player to accomplish such a feat till Charlie Staines in 2020.^[4] By the start of the 1938 season, he was considered to "be on the up and up".^[5] He was the NSWRFL's leading try-scorer for the 1938 season, and that year he appeared for the New South Wales Blues.^[2]

During the 1939 season, Manson went on a tour to New Zealand as part of a side coached by Ray Stehr. After his return, South Sydney did not name him in their line-up for either their first, reserves or third side, a decision which was considered surprising by the Daily News.^[6] Manson played one further game in the South Sydney reserves, before subsequently leaving the club for Eastern Suburbs at the season's end.^[7] Manson retired from the NSWRFL after the 1941 season, and stopped playing league altogether for five years.^[8] He has the second best strike rate in the history of the NRL/ARL/NSWRFL, averaging 1.13 tries per game.^[9]
