Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
High-volume carrier with consistent threat

Across 70 appearances McKay has established himself as a reliable attacking outlet from full back, averaging over ten carries and close to 61 metres per match — numbers that point to a player heavily involved in his side's ball-in-hand game rather than one who operates on the periphery. His 17 tries over that period reflect the finishing payoff that comes with sustained involvement, while single-game peaks of 18 carries, 145 metres and 11 tackles indicate he can shift into a genuinely dominant performance when conditions demand it. Defensively his workload is modest on average, but the ceiling shown in his best outings suggests he is capable of taking on a far greater share when required.
