SHANE WEBCKE
Since retiring from a career in rugby league, I spend time now as a farmer, family man, businessman, author, news presenter, safety ambassador, guest speaker and host.
During my football career, I represented Queensland on twenty four occasions and represented Australia in twenty six tests. In that time, I only ever played for the Brisbane Broncos for some twelve years and was privileged to be named Daly M Prop of the Year three times.
I've taken what I learned about commitment and work ethic from the farm as a young fella to the football field as a player and back to farming in regional Queensland. From there, I balance family life with my wife and three children with my other job in Brisbane, behind the news desk at Seven.
In 1994, when I was just 18 years old, my father was killed in a Queensland workplace incident. I had only just started my football career under the guidance of Wayne Bennett when I received the news that my world had changed forever. My direct experience with the horrific outcome of my father’s workplace fatality, has led me to my role as a safety ambassador. I share the story of my father in the hope it will motivate others to put safety first, always.
In 2006 I released my autobiography ‘Warhorse’ and since then have shared my knowledge, passion and experience with many audiences across Queensland and Australia as a keynote speaker, guest speaker, MC, panelist and host.
