The New Zealand Warriors have named Wade McKinnon to start at fullback for their last National Rugby League regular season match against Parramatta in Sydney on Saturday.
McKinnon faces the NRL judiciary tonight after being put on report for spitting at an official in last weekend's match against Penrith.
If found guilty he's likely to face at least 6 weeks on the sidelines which won't help the Warriors chances for the rest of the season, including Saturday's must-win match if they want to make the play-offs.
If he can't play, Lance Hohaia is likely to go into the starting lineup.
