Playing career

Pratt made his first grade debut for St George in Round 1 1938 against Eastern Suburbs at the Sydney Cricket Ground. At the end of the 1938 season, St George finished last on the table claiming their third and last wooden spoon. As of 2019, neither St George nor the joint venture of St George Illawarra have finished last in the competition.

In 1941, Pratt played 8 games but missed out on playing in the 1941 NSWRL grand final victory over Easts. The win was the club's first premiership since entering the competition in 1921.

In 1945, Eastern Suburbs reached the grand final against Balmain. Easts won the match 22-18 claiming their 9th premiership in front of 44,585 spectators at the Sydney Cricket Ground with Pratt playing at fullback.

Pratt retired at the end of the 1946 season.[2][3][4][5][6]

gollark: If many people consider them better - perhaps they are.
gollark: Did you read what I said?
gollark: They *are* better as in more tradable, because of rarity and use in lineages.
gollark: TJ09 can only have indirect effects via messing with rarity.
