- Have your finger on the pulse of everything that is happening in sport, across Newcastle and the regions - liaising with our reporters in the Central Coast, Taree, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Lismore, Tamworth and the Gold Coast to ensure the best content is covered daily.
- Liaise with Nine Sport in Sydney daily
