abc.net.au/news/former-raiders-player-nrl-grand-final-pitch-invader/101501224Former Canberra playmaker Mark McLinden has been identified as the man who invaded the field and arrested at Sunday's NRL grand final.

McLinden entered the field with Parramatta on the attack at the opposite end of Sydney's Olympic stadium and took down the padding from one of the goal posts. Eagle-eyed social media users recognised McLinden in photos on Tuesday morning, before it was confirmed he was the man in question.

Ohh yes. NRL footballer come Hippy. Couldn't help himself could he. Good on him..Coal sucks!

Absolute disgrace. Probably unvaccinated too.

Super Mac

Of course he played for the Canberra Faiders, wouldn’t expect anything less.
