Biography
=Career=
From 1985 to 1991 Chisholm made 115 first-grade appearances for South Sydney, six of them in finals, including the 1989 preliminary final loss to Canberra, in which he scored two tries.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article120853538 |title=Raiders' Tiger hunt |newspaper=The Canberra Times|location=ACT, Australia |date=18 September 1989 |accessdate=16 October 2018 |page=24 |via=National Library of Australia}} He played mostly in the second-row and occasionally as a lock.
His time at South Sydney included a 10-game suspension in 1991 for tackling a referee. The incident occurred when Chisholm was trying to prevent a try from Newcastle winger John Schuster, claiming that tunnel vision had meant he hadn't seen referee Geoff Weeks.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article122355882 |title=Chisholm says 'tunnel vision' blocked his sight |newspaper=The Canberra Times|location=ACT, Australia |date=9 April 1991 |accessdate=15 October 2018 |page=20 |via=National Library of Australia}} This version was dismissed by the judiciary, which concluded that Chisholm "must have seen the referee" and that the act was both deliberate and reckless.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article122356175 |title=Souths still considering Chisholm appeal |newspaper=The Canberra Times|location=ACT, Australia |date=11 April 1991 |accessdate=15 October 2018 |page=28 |via=National Library of Australia}}
