Why would he have needed to sign for another club in Australia? He came over to play in England in the Australian off-season in the middle of his 13 year stint with Balmain and went on to play many more FULL seasons with them. He wouldn't start his coaching career for another 6 years (as Stouffer correctly pointed out).
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm not the type to just blindly praise Wilky, however, to suggest that the signing of Garry Jack was anything but bold, ambitious and pricey is churlish in my opinion.
