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

And then there were conversations with the NRL after where it was like, oh, do you want opportunities for myself to go over?

But I don't think I would have done it had I not seen firsthand the impact it could have.

And I remember talking to my wife about –

I loved being in the media, absolutely loved it.

Every day I woke up excited to try and break a yarn and do my thing.

But I actually sat there and I thought, what am I actually doing?

What am I achieving?

know pissing people off left right and center you know providing gossip really like i loved footy but then when you drive through the streets and you see kids that the sun's going down they're playing footy on the roundabout and just you're sitting there thinking that was me once upon a time like in the backyard till the lights went off playing rugby league and i've got a good life out of rugby league i just thought the opportunity to go and do that and give back to people in png and

I'll never get this opportunity again.

And most people, mate, not most, no one else would have given me the job.

Like a bloke in the media, what does he know about running a football club?

Peter Valandes and Andrew Abdo spoke to me about doing it.

And yeah, you've got imposter syndrome at the start.

You're like, what the hell would I know?

And I feel I'm pretty fortunate that I've got, through the 20 years in the game, that I've got good relationships with people that I really, really respect, CEOs and chairs and

And I can always go to them and still go to them for advice on things.

I don't know everything, but I get the right people around me in those areas where I don't know to help me make the right decisions.

But I just thought it's an opportunity to build the rugby league team from the ground up.

Who gets that chance?

If I say no, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
