Playing career

Brisbane played for the Marist Old Boys in the Auckland Rugby League competition debuting in 1923.

In 1924, Brisbane represented Auckland City against the touring Great Britain Lions. He then made his debut for New Zealand, becoming Kiwi number 153.

He was a part of the 1926–27 New Zealand rugby league tour of Great Britain, which was marred by the strike action by six of the forwards including Marist team mate Arthur Singe.[2]

During the 1932 New Zealand rugby league season, Brisbane captained New Zealand to a 0-3 series defeat by Great Britain on the 1932 Great Britain Lions tour. In the third test, Brisbane scored two tries but New Zealand lost 18-20.[3]
