the match 13 to 5. He was only bracketed for the 3rd test in Christchurch as well and did not make the side with Brisbane, Scott, and Hardgrave chosen. It was not reported why he did not get selected though it is probably that he had an injury. On September 8 in a match for Kingsland against Otahuhu it was said that “List was not in a fit condition to do himself justice, as the New Zealand rep. is still suffering from an injured leg. He nevertheless shone in patches”. He only needed to play half the game however as the match was called off by the referee at halftime due to the behaviour of the Otahuhu players and spectators with Kingsland leading 8 to 5. List had recovered enough to be named in the Auckland squad against Otago the following weekend on September 15. He ultimately played and Auckland won 42–22. He was involved in Auckland's second try when “the ball went from Delgrosso to Brisbane, to List. The Kingsland centre brought his wing perfectly into position and then swung the pass to send Hardgrave galloping across”. Soon after he was involved in another passing bouth with Brisbane and Hardgrave before Brisbane scored. His final game for Kingsland came in their Stallard Cup semi final 18–10 defeat to Grafton Athletic on September 22. It was reported perhaps rather harshly that “List failed to make an impression. The New Zealand rep. depended upon his fend to make openings. He has no variety for a centre three-quarter”. On October 1 List was selected in the Auckland side to play North Auckland (Northland) on October 6 in Whangarei. Auckland won the match, played at Kensington Park by 33 points to 9. List scored the opening try after a “handling bout”. He was then involved in a second half try to Jenkinson after List had made “an opening”. Kingsland Athletic and Auckland (1929-30) At the start of the 1929 season List's Kingsland Rovers club merged with Grafton Athletic in an endeavour to be admitted into the first grade competition. Their colours were maroon (Kingsland's colours), with a blue and gold shield and they would be known as Kingsland Athletic. This would be the first time List had played in the first grade in his fifth season of senior rugby league. In an article about the merger the Auckland Star featured a portrait photo
