COACH OF THE 2020 SOUTH SYDNEY WOMENS TEAM

Wonderful player but sometimes went another level & practically won the game for his team.

Dean Widders is a well a spoken rugby league ex player and coach. I've watched him on tv presenting Over the Black dot, and last night on 'You can't ask that''. Dean speaks clearly and sensibly. Usually I think Dean is a good example to his football community, I have also thought that he could be asked to step up and lead in Australian politics, particularly as an indigenous Australian leader. Not one day but today!.Best wishes Dean, I'll be voting for you!!
