George Arthur Mullins (7 September 1907 – 22 October 1995) was an Australian rugby league player and coach.
Mullins, known as "Barney", was born to Australian parents in New Zealand, where his father George Sr worked at the time as a coal miner and labourer. He grew up in Sydney and his father became mayor of Balmain, then a Labor member of the New South Wales Legislative Council during the 1930s and 1940s.[1]
A front-rower, Mullins competed in first grade for Balmain between 1930 and 1932.[2] He had a season as coach of Manly Warringah in 1949, with the club finishing out of the finals in eighth position.[3]
Mullins was also a noted surf swimmer and had a race in Freshwater, Sydney, named after him.[4]
