Wayne Chisholm (born 1 May 1964) is an Australian former professionalrugby league footballer who played forManly–Warringah,South Sydney andNorth Sydney. He represented NSW City in theCity vs Country Origin match in 1989.[2]
From 1985 to 1991 Chisholm made 115 first-grade appearances for South Sydney, six of them in finals, including the 1989 preliminary final loss to Canberra, in which he scored two tries.[3] He played mostly in the second-row and occasionally as a lock.
His time at South Sydney included a 10-game suspension in 1991 for tackling a referee. The incident occurred when Chisholm was trying to prevent a try from Newcastle wingerJohn Schuster, claiming that tunnel vision had meant he hadn't seen referee Geoff Weeks.[4] This version was dismissed by the judiciary, which concluded that Chisholm "must have seen the referee" and that the act was both deliberate and reckless.[5]
In 1992 he spent a season with North Sydney, where he featured in only two first-grade games, but did play in the club's reserves premiership team.[6]
Chisholm's elder brother, Rick, was a halfback for Manly and Newtown during the 1980s. A nephew,Dane Chisholm, who is the son of Rick, played first-grade for the Melbourne Storm and has represented France internationally.
