Kenty - Paul Kent NRL Podcast · Michael Chammas on PNG's Tax-Free Recruitment, Luai Signing & $600M Question | Kenty Prime Time · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

I get why clubs are upset, but NRL, rugby league as a whole will benefit from this team doing well.

Yeah, well, there's a domestic competition called the Digicel Exxon Mobile Cup and there's

I think there's 12 teams that play in that competition.

And it's all around the country.

They travel all around the country to play in this competition.

Now, obviously, above that, there's the Hunters in the Queensland Cup.

Yep.

And then, obviously, we'll sit above that in the NRL.

So that domestic competition is growing from strength to strength.

And our CEO, Lorna McPherson, Digicel sponsored that.

She was part of Digicel.

And she played a huge part in changing the way that competition is run.

Because...

It was amateur hour and there were things in there around behavioral issues that she just wouldn't stand for.

So she kicked teams out of competitions for a couple of years until they got their act together.

They made it mandatory to have a women's team because over there, no one wanted women to play.

It was frowned upon for a woman to play rugby league.

It became mandatory for every team to be in that competition to have a women's team.

So these things are taking place.

And then on a lesser level, when you come to the grassroots, no, it's not like Australia where you play for your local footy team and then you work your way up through that.
