Sailor set for switch to Dellavision

He may be preparing for his final rugby league game, but whether you like it or not,
the last has not been seen of Wendell Sailor.
Not by a long shot.
The extrovert winger gleefully took centre stage at the official Indigenous All
Stars lunch ahead of Saturday night's Skilled Park match.
The clash with the NRL All Stars on the Gold Coast will mark his swansong on the
field but Sailor predictably didn't waste time detailing just what he will up to
after it.
Perhaps the most ominous news was Sailor's claim that he would be appearing on
"Dellavision".
Sailor got a taste of TV via Channel Nine's The Footy Show in his final year with
the Dragons - and, as expected, it more than agreed with him.
"It is my last game, I promise you - I am going to be on Dellavision a fair bit
after this," Sailor told a packed room at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday.
But clearly that was not Sailor's sole priority.
The dual international's chest puffed out as he was named as an ambassador for the
new $4.5 million Achieving Results Through indigenous Education (ARTIE) program
launched in Brisbane on Wednesday.
ARTIE, funded by the federal government and named after rugby league great Artie
Beetson, will involve 170 Queensland former State of Origin players mentoring
indigenous students in south-east Queensland schools.
Sailor will also be heavily involved in Rugby League's One Community program.
But first there is the small matter of bowing out of rugby league in the much hyped
All Stars clash.
"It is one of the proudest moments I have had," Sailor said of his Indigenous All
Stars selection.
"I know this is not about me, for once, but to finish off like this is awesome.
"That's why I am still in good shape - but I don't know how I will be in a couple of
months."
Asked about tactics for the match, Sailor quipped: "I am just a winger mate, I
haven't been briefed on that.
"All I will be doing is standing on the wing, saying goodbye."
Indigenous All Stars captain Preston Campbell admitted his main fear was "doing
justice" to the war dance ahead of the match - before quipping that Sailor was
trying to incorporate the moon walk into the routine.
Clearly Sailor was the crowd favourite, even getting away with giving Sport Minister
Kate Ellis a peck on the cheek after she presented him with his Indigenous All Stars
jersey.
But he didn't have it all his own way at the entertaining lunch.
Asked about his selection, halfback Scott Prince said: "It has made me look a lot
more at my past, where I am from."
Then Prince - an unlucky Queensland Origin omission of late - added: "But I also
made sure Cooper Cronk was not Aboriginal as well."
