Biography
Arthur ‘Pony’ Halloway, Sydney Rooster #61, was an opportunistic halfback who played a total of 36 games for Easts, having a hand in the Club’s 1912 and 1913 titles before switching to a coaching role.
Following a seven-year hiatus from the Country’s first grade competition, Halloway would return to Easts in 1930, taking charge of the Club in an effort to bring them more success.
