Jack Eason lived on the Woronora River, and was graded from the local Sutherland JRLFC in 1935. He was remembered as a vigorous second rower that played mainly reserve grade at the St. George Dragons, although he did feature in two first grade games during the 1935 NSWRFL season.[2] Eason was also a noted professional boxer in Sydney during the mid 1930s.[3]
