Dyl & Friends

Frank Ponissi: The Godfather of the NRL | #292


Listen Later

This week on Dyl & Friends, we're joined by Frank Ponissi.

Frank is the mastermind behind one of the most successful sporting organisations in Australia. As GM of Football at the Melbourne Storm, Frank has helped build a culture that’s become the gold standard - not just in the NRL, but across all codes.

In this episode, we dive into nearly two decades of excellence, leadership, and resilience. From his legendary partnership with Craig Bellamy, to navigating the 2010 salary cap scandal, to rebuilding a dynasty and shaping the next era of Storm greatness, Frank shares the philosophies, stories and lessons behind it all.

We talk high standards, "study trips" gone rogue, insights from working with global sporting giants like Man City and the All Blacks, and how he helped bridge the AFL-NRL divide by bringing in names like Selwood, Cotchin and Yze.

This is a bloody good episode if you're into sport, leadership & culture building. Can't thank Frank enough for his time. Hope you enjoy it xx
