New Rush Hour Sydney member on the way following Wendell Sailor’s exit

A new member of the The Rush Hour team in Sydney will be announced soon, after Wendell Sailor this week announced his retirement from Triple M.

In a statement, Sailor said “I have made the decision to step back from my professional commitments with Triple M, which is effective immediately. My primary focus now is dedicating more time to my children and pursuing grassroots interests.”

“I am deeply grateful for SCA’s understanding and support of my decision. Balancing my career with family life is my priority, particularly as I celebrate my 50th birthday this week.”

“Triple M has been an integral part of my professional journey. I have forged lifelong friendships and cherished every moment commenting on NRL matches and hosting The Rush Hour.”

 “I am thankful for the encouragement I have received and am eager for my next chapter, to concentrate on family, as well as interests such as golf and corporate opportunities.”

SCA Chief Content Officer, Dave Cameron said “SCA supports Wendell’s decision to step away from The Rush Hour and the Triple M NRL commentary team to spend more time with his family. Wendell has forged a wonderful media career since joining Triple M in 2015 and we wish him well. We will always consider Wendell a member of the Triple M family.”
