Danny Weidler positioning as SBW ally
July 28, 2007
Channel 9 headline breaker Danny Weidler seems to be positioning himself as an ‘ally’ of Sonny Bill Williams.
After the Kings Cross ‘Hugo’s’ nightclub saga involving Sonny Bill Williams and a freelancer photographer taking pictures of Sonny as he left – Danny Weidler was quick off the mark to break the story and turn it into the big headline it was.
After previously struggling with Bulldogs relations, Danny Weidler has now been in damage control. Giving Bulldogs CEO Malcom Noad a right of reply on the SBW / Photographer saga and now writing several stories about Sonny Bill and his fear of the spotlight.

A pretty amazing turnaround for a journalist that was only 1 week ago fueling headlines about Sonny Bill Williams and his behaviour.
It has often been rumoured that Danny Weidler has a relative or powerful ally inside Channel 9 – as the previously unknown junior reporter was an average Rugby Union journo before coming from no where to be the so called ‘mr mail’ on all things Rugby League – getting his start on Channel 9 and having his profile regularly thrust upon viewers.
Sonny Bill Williams remains quiet after the recent saga with freelance photographer Bill Fidget and has agreed to pay for the damage to Fidget’s $15,000 camera.
