Playing career

McPhail made his first grade debut for North Sydney against the Brisbane Broncos in Round 7 1989 at North Sydney Oval which ended in a 36–10 loss.

In 1991, North Sydney had one of their best seasons in many years finishing 3rd on the table under the coaching of Steve Martin. McPhail played in all of the club's finals games as they fell short of a grand final appearance losing to the Canberra Raiders in the preliminary final.

In 1992, North Sydney finished a disappointing 11th place on the table and Martin was terminated as head coach. McPhail was also released and signed with Parramatta.

McPhail played 3 seasons at Parramatta as the club finished towards the bottom of the ladder each year. In 1995, McPhail played 7 games for Parramatta as they had one of their worst seasons on the field winning only 3 matches out of a possible 22 games.[2][3][4]
