Eugowra forward who made Australia’s tour of New Zealand in 1965 before joining St George a year later. Played 17 first-grade games in his first season but broke his collarbone in the last game before the semi-finals and missed the rest of the season. Played in three Grand Finals with Saints, in 1971 (when he scored the Dragons’ first try), 1975 and as a replacement in the replay in 1977. Toured New Zealand again in 1971, but as with his first trip did not play a Test. Mostly a powerful second rower, Beath moved to the front row late in his career. He retired with 198 first-grade games, at the time the second most by a St George forward (now fourth behind Norm Provan, Craig Young and Rod Reddy).

Played a total of 198 games for St George
