He should be an immortal, as he was the first Australian forward to make 3 kangaroo tours of England and France. He played all his senior football in Newcastle and was named in the NSW country team of the century. From a proud Novacastrian

Wall Prigg is my grandfather.
To add what you’ve written already...
He was known as ‘a gentleman of rugby league’ .
He was the very first Australian to score a try on French soil.
