Straight Talk with Mark Bouris · Michael Chammas: Building the NRL's PNG Team, Leaving Journalism & Taking Opportunities · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

We were at Liverpool versus Aston Villa Premier League and I sat down with him.

My kids were with me.

We were watching the game and I sort of had a chat with him about the potential of doing this.

So guys like that I have a lot of respect for.

I hope I'm not forgetting anyone.

There's obviously a lot of guys in the game that you build a relationship with.

Ian Fuge, my former editor, Ben Cody at the Herald.

Guys like that were huge for me.

You know what?

I just asked myself one question.

How would I feel if someone else got this right?

If I didn't do it and someone else got it?

I thought I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't give it a crack.

I knew I wanted to do it.

It was just the challenge of family that was keeping me from doing it.

And when I felt better from my wife about it and when the kids, well, my eldest was excited and the young ones didn't quite want to leave their friends from school.

But

Yeah, that's why when I went last week, it felt good.

It felt right.

I went to Wimbledon and covered Wimbledon a couple of times.
