Graeme Wynn (born in Thirroul, New South Wales) is an Australian former professional rugby league player for the St. George Dragons and the Western Suburbs Magpies in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership. His position of choice was at second-row forward, where his height and strong build made him among the most powerful runners in the game during the 1980s.

Career

The older brother of rugby league player Peter Wynn of Parramatta, Graeme stunned the rugby league world in 1979 with his powerful running wide of the rucks propelled by long, powerful legs. His ability to break defensive lines created attacking runs and tries for St. George that year as they won their second premiership in three years. Although he was beaten by his brother to selection in representative teams, Graeme was named "Rookie of the Year" and the following year played for New South Wales and went on to be selected in the Australian squad for that season's New Zealand tour.

Wynn did not play in a Test and in the following years was subject to a serious knee injury and then to a suspension for twelve matches for biting an opponent. Nonetheless, due to his skill as a goalkicker, he remained a vital part of St. George's big forward pack right up to their minor premiership win in 1985. However, Wynn was disappointing in that game and after that lost form badly apart from a few games (such as the opening match at the Sydney Football Stadium where he scored two barnstorming tries) and in 1989 and 1990 he was relegated permanently to reserve grade.

Warren Ryan, however Wynn still had something left in him and he won a first-grade berth with the Western Suburbs Magpies in 1991 and played solidly. Graeme won a new contract at the age of thirty-two but was used mainly as a reserve and retired at the end of 1992.
