About this listen
Danny Weidler has been a rugby league journalist and television reporter for almost 40 years.
It’s been a crazy journey which has seen him experience plenty of highs and lows in the industry.
Recruited by Channel 9 chief David Gyngell, Weidler changed the way rugby league news was reported on TV - earning himself a reputation as hard nosed reporter who constantly broke big news stories.
In a very revealing and honest assessment of his career, Weidler explains what makes a good story, how he has made some enemies and what drives him to keep going.
It’s a fascinating listen as Weidler opens up on his life and love for rugby league.
