Michael Lichaa (born 18 July 1993) is a Lebanon international rugby league footballer who plays as a hooker.
Two days after the signing was made public, he was dropped from the first-grade team by coach Peter Sharp for a "lack of loyalty".
[24][25] In Round 4 against the Wests Tigers, he scored his first NRL career try in the Bulldogs' 25-24 golden-point extra time win at ANZ Stadium.
[29] He was named in the Lebanon 48-man train-on squad ahead of two 2017 Rugby League World Cup qualifiers against South Africa, however he didn't take part in either match.
On May 6, 2018, Lichaa spoke to the media about being dropped saying “You find out who your really good mates are in these tough times, you look at your phone and you see 30 or 40 messages from people, and you know the guys that are there for you at the end of the day, no matter what, and through thick and thin", “You learn a lot about yourself and who your true friends and family are".
On 27 September, Lichaa played for Cronulla-Caringbah in the 2020 Sydney Shield grand final where they defeated Ryde-Eastwood Hawks 32-30 at Bankwest Stadium.
He was taken to hospital with serious arm injuries after allegedly being involved in an altercation with his fiancée and with former Canterbury-Bankstown player, best friend, and former teammate Adam Elliott.
[37][38] The court heard that the incident occurred after Mr Lichaa caught Ms Childerhouse performing oral sex on Elliott.
