Mark Shulman (Born 1951) is an Australian former rugby league player.[1]
A Ramsgate United junior, he debuted for St. George Dragons in 1971, but for much of his career he was the understudy of club legend Billy Smith. Mark Shulman played Halfback for the St. George Dragons in the New South Wales Rugby League in 1970-78.[2][3][4][5][6] In 1978, he was the team's captain.[7] Shulman won a premiershiup with the St. George Dragons, playing halfback in the 1977 Grand Final.
Described as a "shade over five feet tall and weighing around ten stone", Shulman was the smallest player in first grade when he debuted in 1971. He came into the side replacing Billy Smith, who had been sidelined with a broken arm.[8] A back and kidney injury put an end to his career at the end of the 1978 season.[9]
