barsley made his first grade debut for western suburbs in 1959 against newtown but broke his collar bone in the same match. in 1961, barsley was part of the western suburbs side which won the minor premiership and made the grand final against the all conquering st george side. st george went on to win the grand final 22-0. in 1962, barlsey played on the wing in the 1962 grand final against st george. this time the match was a much closer affair but the saints held on to win 9-6. in 1963, wests qualified for their third straight grand final and again the opponent was st george. barsley was not selected for the match because he could not get time off work and john mowbray took his place in the side. wests went on to lose 8-3 and this would be the last time the club would make a grand final before exiting the competition in 1999.
