Nine News reporter Danny Weidler has hit back at criticism from Maroons coach Billy Slater and several members of Fox Sports’ NRL 360 magazine show.
columnist Danny Weidler has defended himself against criticism from News Corp and Queensland coach Billy Slater after the veteran journalist claimed Maroons star Selwyn Cobbo wasn’t seeing eye-to-eye with the state’s coaching staff.
Weidler reported on Monday night that Cobbo, who returned to the Maroons side for Origin III after being axed for game two, wasn’t on the same page as the Queensland coaching staff.former NRL 360 host and Daily Telegraph columnist Paul Kent “You mentioned Fox, and yes, I have been on their case and I did report heavily on Paul Kent,” Weidler said. “I was the only journo to do so in the rugby league media. For that, I am an enemy of Fox. I have highlighted that Braith Anasta has two roles – host and manager. I think that’s fair to highlight. Braith doesn’t take that criticism well. I’ve also written good things about Braith for 100 years, and he’s forgotten that.

Adidas are ready to make a splash, and a deal is set to be announced imminently.The Blues had a special presentation at the Sydney Cricket Ground last Monday night to help inspire them ahead of the decider at Suncorp Stadium.
