Mike Dalton, Director of News, Nine Queensland is delighted with Sam’s new appointment.
“Sam was our natural first choice to step into the weekend sports desk role and this reinforces Nine’s tradition of strong female presenters. No-one has a stronger passion for sport – and she doesn’t just report it, Sam lives it – whether it’s cycling, golf, netball, or surfboat rowing.
She’s run two marathons but just wishes her NRL tipping was better !”
