Playing career

Blackett made his first grade debut for Parramatta in Round 1 of the 1994 season against the Brisbane Broncos. Blackett spent three seasons at Parramatta before moving to The Gold Coast.

Blackett made seven appearances for the club before being released. Speaking to the media in 2011, Parramatta legend Steve Ella who was working as a talent scout for the club recommended a young Darren Lockyer to the recruitment bosses at Parramatta but Ella was told that Blackett and Michael Buettner were the preferred options for the 1994 season.[2][3]

gollark: Well, people in those cities can just not go there.
gollark: I don't think that would... function at all.
gollark: Wait, 10k per *month*, not per *year*?
gollark: You can *also* work out exactly the parameters to tax people to generate precisely the amount of revenue you need, if you know income distribution, with the unlimited power of integration™.
