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

It was a mess.

Yeah.

So I had no regrets on it.

Unfortunately, Gus didn't like it.

I haven't really spoken to him since, but it's part of the job.

I think, well, I can't speak on the NRL's behalf, but I think the reason that...
