As it is, yeah, first official signing for PNG Chiefs.
And again, you know, I'm here for another 18 months, so it's pretty good to get that out of the way and understand that I've still got a job here to do.
I think everyone wants me to say, you know, tax-free and how appealing that is from the outside in.
But that's not what got the deal signed.
Being over there, you sort of realise that it's bigger than a game over there.
And when the time comes, we'll be able to change a lot of lives for the better.
My family, my son, got the chance to come with.
And being there after all that, that's probably what got us here.
It's probably a moral vision, something that I resonated with.
Being Polynesian, you know, there's a lot of similarities, you know, to Samoa and things like that.
So, yeah, what that team's eventually going to do for those people is just grow a nation.
So that's something that resonated with me.
Happened pretty quickly when I was at Wellwind, to be honest with you.
The way my contract works and how it was structured, we broke no rules throughout the process and I think that's what people don't really understand as well.
But yeah, it was a smooth process.
Like I said, I thank the coach and my teammates already.
They were so transparent through it all.
I'm really grateful that it's been a smooth process.
