Halloway was nicknamed 'Pony', but despite his small stature he was recognised as one of the fiercest competitors to play the game and one of the nation's finest footballers of the 20th century.

He was recruited by the Glebe club after taking part in the rebel series against Baskerville's New Zealand 'All Golds'.

[3] In 1910 Halloway moved to the Balmain club for three seasons, from where he also continued his representative career, making his second Kangaroo tour in 1911.

Halloway returned to Balmain in 1915 where he won further premierships in 1915, 1916 (scoring his team's only try in the final), 1917, 1919 and 1920 as captain and captain-coach from 1916.

Along with Billy Cann, Dan Frawley and Tedda Courtney he was one of four men to make all three of the tours made between 1908 and 1912 by Australian or New South Welsh teams..

[6] The story is recounted of him chopping off a finger in a work related accident one Saturday morning, then leading his club side, Balmain, to victory that afternoon with his hand swathed in a blood-stained bandage.

[3] Halloway was a consummate team man, a sound defender and an opportunistic half-back capable of opening up an opposition worn down by heavy forward clashes with impeccable service to his outside backs.

[3] After retirement as a player he coached in the country league at Parkes, then Lismore and also the Newtown club for a season in 1923.

[3] An article on Arthur Halloway appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald on 14 August 1945 – shortly before he brought up his 11th premiership as a player and/or coach.

Arthur ("Pony") Halloway, Eastern Suburbs coach, has a double chance this season of chalking up his eleventh Rugby League premiership.

He made his second tour of England in 1911–12, and in the following three seasons helped Eastern Suburbs win two premierships.

The player who dropped passes gets more handling practice without recrimination: the clever one is brought into moves to emphasis team work.
