Arthur Conlin

Arthur Conlin (1883–1947) was a pioneer Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1900s and 1910s. A New South Wales and Australian representative goal-kicking back, he played club football for the South Sydney and Western Suburbs clubs.

In rugby league's first season in Australia, the 1908 NSWRFL season, Conlin captained Souths in the inaugural grand final, scoring a try to help his side to premiership victory.

He was the top point-scorer for the 1909 NSWRFL season with 43 points, and that year he represented New South Wales as well. For over 100 years Conlin's Kangaroo appearances were incorrectly attributed to Albert Conlon a five-eighth with the Glebe Club who toured with the 1908 Kangaroos. Conlon was a playing contemporary of Conlin's but he made no representative appearances in 1909 or thereafter following a family tragedy.
