NBL EXPERIENCE
Robert Mckinlay made his NBL debut with the West Sydney Razorbacks on 31/1/2004. He scored two points in his first game.
Mckinlay would sign with the Razorbacks as a training player in 2003, with the team moving forward in a new direction. Coach McLeod who decide not to re-sign import Willie Farley and veteran foundation duo Derek Rucker and Bruce Bolden. Instead, the team made history by becoming the first in the modern NBL era to field a full lineup of Australian talent. With John Rillie returning after spending half of the previous season in Greece and Sam MacKinnon back from injury, this was also the first season the roster had a clear “runway” to build continuity and challenge for a title.
The Razorbacks opened the season in dominant fashion, with Simon Dwight (26 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists) and Sam MacKinnon (24 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists) both delivering near triple-doubles in a home victory over Hunter (119-103).
West Sydney started the season 3-1 before suffering a three-game losing streak, including defeats to Sydney (83-97), where Matt Nielsen dominated with 29 points and 8 rebounds, Wollongong (81-90), and Victoria (101-106).
With a losing record (3-4) and the season at a crossroads, the Razorbacks responded with a dominant 10-game winning streak, which included revenge victories over Sydney (97-87), Wollongong (109-105), and Victoria (107-95).
The team’s depth played a crucial role in maintaining their success, with reserves stepping up when needed. Robert McKinlay, appearing in just two games, provided depth in the frontcourt when called upon. Although his minutes were limited, he added size and energy off the bench.
West Sydney finished the regular season in third place (22-11), setting club records for most wins in a season, most home wins, and most road victories. The Razorbacks carried their form into the playoffs, defeating Cairns in the elimination final before sweeping Wollongong in the semifinals to reach the Grand Final.
Despite a hard-fought series, the Razorbacks ultimately fell to the Sydney Kings in Game 5 (90-79), concluding one of the best seasons in franchise history. Rillie and MacKinnon earned All-NBL First Team honours, while Markovic was named NBL Rookie of the Year.
Robert Mckinlay played one season in the NBL. He averaged 1 points, 1 rebounds, and 0.5 assists in 2 NBL games.
Dan Boyce is a die-hard Sydney Kings fan who grew up in Melbourne during the roaring 90's of Australian Basketball and spent far too much time collecting Futera NBL Basketball cards.
