Joe Walsh is an Australian former rugby league player for the Balmain Tigers.
Walsh hails from Barmedman, a village outside West Wyalong in country New South Wales.[1]
A second-rower, Walsh was recruited to Balmain from the Queanbeyan Kangaroos. He featured in Balmain's 1969 grand final-winning team. After missing the entire 1971 season with a knee injury, Walsh remained at Balmain for two more seasons, then returned to country rugby league. He coached a young Royce Simmons while captain-coach of the Cowra Magpies, which he led to a premiership in 1978.[2]
Walsh formerly owned the Riverina Hotel in Wagga Wagga.[3]
