Wade GUILTY

Wade McKinnon found guilty of spitting
Warriors fullback Wade McKinnon has failed to have his spitting charge overturned at the NRL judiciary tonight, and is facing up to nine weeks out of the game.

McKinnon was accused of spitting at touch judge Brett Suttor during New Zealand's 42-20 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

His defence claimed there was no intent in his spit, but failed to convince the NRL judiciary.

The duration of his suspension is yet to be determined.

Earlier, Knights utility Matt Hilder was cleared of his spitting charge and is free to face the Broncos on Friday night.

More to come...

I have a feeling that it will be over 5 weeks. Spitting at an official, and he has already been found guilty. Not looking good for Wade.
 
Do they have footage though or is it just Suttor saying it? I mean I doubt an official would lie but footage would be handy!

1 Week & I would be happy.

I really like Wade as a player but he does have that grubiness or brain explosions you could say in his game.

Quite true, the things he has done have been brain explosion things ... nobody has been hurt by them, and there has been no malace in them. One week would be fine. I doubt he will get off that lightly though.
