Brett Papworth (born 5 November 1963 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) played first grade rugby league for the Eastern Suburbs Roosters in the New South Wales Rugby League competition.
From there, Papworth proceeded to make a total of fifteen test appearances for the Australian Wallabies side between 1985 and 1987,[2] prior to switching to rugby league the following year.
Papworth elected to sign for the Eastern Suburbs side at the commencement of the 1988 NSWRL season but his progress was hampered by a series of injuries.
Over the next four years in rugby league, Papworth's considerable talents were rarely on show; successive problems with his shoulders and knees, as well as a broken jaw, limited his game time to just seven appearances out of a total of 88 matches.
For 20 years, he commentated on the Shute Shield on ABC Television and occasionally on Super Rugby broadcasts on Fox Sports.
