Badel reporting that the QRL CEO has resigned.

Also reporting that Ikin could be tempted to leave us to take up the role.

No quotes from anyone saying that Ikin has been targeted or is even interested in the role.

Links it to the story last year saying that Iking felt marginalised during the season (no quotes on this either)

Bit of a dog move if Ikin did take it on.

He's got a lot of unfinished business here at The Broncs......

Tallis is easily the worst commentator in the NRL, it's dreadful having to listen to him.

lol 7 weeks for that they are taking the piss right?

I'm thinking that his prior rap sheet might have had something to do with the length of the ban?

Did you just double down on Josh Maguire's insult!?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Take one look at this guy and tell me you're surprised he's a ****.

[Allo]

Broncosgirl it's taken me longer than i want to admit to realise that your signature is that gif

I was wondering what the context for it to keep appearing was

 

[Sproj]

But some of those charges carried Broncos loading. I bet you if JWH or NAS played for the Broncs, their records would be just as long.

the politician Peter Vlandy's has "intervened" in the CBA talks and now it looks like the big ticket items could be agreed to be the end of the week.

It is being reported that until now Vlandy's has only had a "minor" role in the negotiations, but took a seat at the table today and is expected to be front and centre for the remainder of the week as the parties attempt to thrash out a final deal.

"sources" close to negotiations say they would be surprised if the big ticket items were not agreed by the end of the week.
