Listen "Dean Widders: Rugby League should be at the forefront of tackling racism"
Episode Synopsis
It's Indigenous Round in the NRL over the next 2 weekends and one of the best advocates for celebrating and promoting the First Nations contributions is Dean Widders. He told Andrew Moore and Ryan Hoffman how he was inspired by the great Arthur Beetson to see the positive influence that rugby league can have on his community. He also explained that even though there are as many as 6 or 7 incidents of racist abuse around the game at all levels each weekend - the game is uniquely placed to educate people and break down barriers. Plus Parramatta hooker Ryley Smith show he's as impressive off the field as well as on it. He explained how he still has to pinch himself when he comes up against the likes of Harry Grant or NSW hooker Reece Robson who he'll take on this weekend. Plus get your tips for the weekend in Christopher's Corner!
