Former NRL star Dean Widders is a man on a mission.

Former National Rugby League (NRL) star Dean Widders is a man on a mission. After fellow Indigenous players Preston Campbell, Timana Tahu and George Rose devised their own pre-game performance to match the haka of their Maori counterparts, Widders began a journey to bring this dance and First Nations pride more broadly to the game. So far, his advocacy has garnered support from the Indigenous All Stars league, but his dream is to have Australias national team adopt this unifying battle cry.
