Playing career[edit]

Brown played 56 games for Balmain during a difficult time in the clubs history where they finished with the Wooden Spoon in 1994 (only the fourth time since entering the competition in 1908) and also the team being briefly renamed the "Sydney Tigers" for two seasons and relocating to Parramatta Stadium for home matches. Brown's final game for the club was in round 10 of the 1996 ARL season against the Gold Coast Chargers.[2][3][4]
