The Star (Christchurch) newspaper reported from the proceedings that "when fifteen years of age, in 1897, she married [Hansen] at Wellington, with her parents' consent, her father being present at the marriage.

Justice Cooper remarked upon "criminal conduct of parents in consenting to such early marriages"; a girl didn't know her own mind at fifteen, and she was not fit to bear children.

[10] The following week in an 8–4 win over College Rifles he was involved in a “nice passing movement” with Cotter and Stewart which resulted in Pile scoring.

Richmond won 5 points to 3 with Satherley being involved in “fine inside back play” along with Roy Powell and Stan Prentice which “prevented the half-backs, Richard Daly and Tom Carey, from going far”.

[33] At the start of the 1934 Auckland Rugby League season Satherley was named in Richmond's round 1 side to play Newton Rangers on April 28 at Carlaw Park.

[43] He was back playing at second five, and the New Zealand Herald was critical of his performance overall saying that “he is too slow [in that position] for the company he is in and several times on Saturday he nullified promising movements by the Richmond rearguard”.

Richmond won 21–5 to become the first team to ever win all three major first grade trophies (Fox Memorial, Roope Rooster, and Stormont Shield) in the same season.

The Auckland Star wrote “there was a breathless hush as J. Satherley placed the ball well out from the uprights, sighted and then set it in flight with a powerful kick.

[64] They were apparently “shaded in the early stages when Newton opened with Elan, winning the set scrums and by possessive cohesion were making the play.

[70] In the main 3pm match at Carlaw Park the following week Harold Tetley was the best Richmond forward but “was well supported by Telford, J. Satherley, [Hermes] Hadley, and [Alf] Broadhead”.

[81] The New Zealand Herald noted that “Pickrang, Satherley, [Edgar] Morgan, [John] Anderson and Tetley, all of Auckland, have been outstanding in club games this season”.

In comments about the prospects of players vying for Auckland selection it was said in the Herald that “Satherley is ... a good forward, but he has not met with outstanding success as a hooker”.

[99] In their first Fox Memorial championship game Richmond beat Mount Albert 13–10 on May 1 with Satherley “always prominent in the forward line” along with George Mitchell, Bill Telford, and Harold Tetley.

[109] Returning to Richmond he played in their crucial 15–2 win over Mount Albert on July 3 and gave “good assistance” to Jack McLeod along with Hermes Hadley, and Bill Telford.

The New Zealand selectors, Jim Amos, Thomas McClymont, and Bert Avery then named the second test team with Satherley chosen at hooker.

[117] The second test was played at Carlaw Park on August 14 and saw New Zealand register an upset 16–15 win over an injury ravaged Australian side before 25,000 spectators.

[121] His try came after Bill Glover made a good tackle on him but Jack McLeod gained possession and sent the ball back to Satherley to cross for the try.

[126] In mid May Satherley was chosen in the Auckland team to play the ‘Rest of the North Island’ side by selectors Bert Avery, Hec Brisbane, and A.

[127] The Auckland Star wrote “Satherley, of Richmond, is the selectors’ choice as hooker, and his supports will be Gault, of Manukau, and [Des] Herring, of Mount Albert”.

Last season there was a hooking weakness evident, and the standard set by players of the calibre of [Sam] Lowrie and [Wally] Somers in the past was not reached.

The Tweed Daily said that “it was not uncommon in the second half to see J. Cootes, Glynn, Satherley, and Herring in complete control of the ball, beating off the individual efforts of L. McLaren, J.

W. Sneyd, a photographer for the Telegraph (Brisbane) wrote an opinion piece on the New Zealand side and said “the visitors will test our Queensland rake, because if either Satherley or Orman plays they will be equipped with an expert exponent of the art.

Even in the recent inter-island match at Carlaw Park, Satherley proved a superior hooker to Orman and, in addition, he is a better all round forward.

[155] After their return one of the managers of the team, Jack A. Redwood said that “neither Satherley nor Orman... could overcome the opposition they met in the big matches, but the latter showed up well in other branches of play”.

With Eastern Suburbs leading 3-0 Richmond went on attack and following good work by Merv Devine, Watkins, and McLeod “Satherley snapped up, to give a perfect “dummy” to Norton and scored”.

[164] After the game in an interview the manager of the touring side, Mr. J. Quinlan said “the splendid tackling of the Richmond players also impressed him”, praising Wally Tittleton and Satherley in particular.

On June 10 Richmond beat City 8–0 in round 10 with the Herald writing that “Satherley won the ball from the scrum frequently and his hooking was cleaner that that of Airey, a former Canterbury representative”.

In reality it was against Marist as the North Shore club had refused to contribute any players to the forced merger team until a change of mind in round 7.

[185] Team lists were not published at all in the Auckland newspapers and the match reports were extremely brief, with Satherley not mentioned at all until September 12 when he scored a try in Richmond's 7–6 win in the Roope Rooster semi final against Ponsonby.

Following the match an inquiry was held by the Auckland Rugby League “in connection with an incident near the end of the game when J. Satherley, one of the Richmond players was injured, and lay on the ground for some time receiving attention.
