Wade McKinnon is an Australian rugby league player in the National Rugby League. He currently plays for the New Zealand Warriors and has previously represented the Parramatta Eels and South Sydney Rabbitohs.
[edit] South Sydney Football ClubEducated at St Dominic's College, Terra Sancta College and Westfields Sports High School McKinnon played rugby league from a young age. A St Clair junior, McKinnon made his first grade debut with the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2002 following their re-admittance into the competition. [edit] Parramatta EelsAfter two years at South Sydney McKinnon moved to Parramatta. In 2004, his first season with the Eels, he won the Jack Gibson Award and the Ron Lynch Media Award in the same season. [edit] New Zealand WarriorsWith the Eels making it clear that they preferred Luke Burt ahead of the off-contract McKinnon, McKinnon often found it tough to make the first-grade team when the Eels were at full-strength. Consequently he signed a three-year deal with the Warriors in 2007, filling in the void that was to be left by the departing Brent Webb. McKinnon cited the Warriors' style of play as being conducive to the game. ABC commentator Ray Warren once described McKinnon as 'the best support player in the NRL.' He became the 132nd first grade player for the Warriors when he made his debut against the Eels, his former club, at Mt Smart Stadium in Round 1, 2007. Since arriving at the Warriors, McKinnon has impressed, scoring 9 tries in his first season whilst looking dangerous in attack. During his time at the Warriors McKinnon has been involved in several incidents. In a Round 19 match in 2007 McKinnon was sent off by referee Paul Simpkins in the final minute of play for allegedly kneeing Taniela Tuiaki. The replay, however, suggested there was no contact or intent, and consequently he was not cited after the match.[1] McKinnon's individual try against the Penrith Panthers in Round Fifteen, 2007 was voted as the greatest of the year by NRL.com. [edit] 2008McKinnon was ruled out of most of the 2008 NRL Season after an injury in the Warriors first trial game against the Newcastle Knights left him requiring a knee reconstruction. [2] However McKinnon recovered relatively quickly and he made his return against the Brisbane Broncos in Round 22. He celebrated this game by scoring a try in a 16-12 Warriors win. In Round 25, 2008, McKinnon was suspended for three matches after allegedly spitting at touch-judge Brett Suttor. Suttor said that the spit landed 30 centimetres away from him, but the judiciary said that as McKinnon was at least six metres away from him, it was not possible for his spit to travel that far. [edit] 2009He was selected for City in the City vs Country match on 8 May 2009.[3] [edit] References
