BEN IKIN

Always thought he is a good Operator and Smart.   Whats the thoughts for sounding him out for Parra CEO.   I guess it will be hard to pry him away from the QRL role.

          • She'd be our version of Gina, only with a bad wig, with a prostate , and without that Billionaire sex appeal 🍆💦 

             

             

            And to answer your question, yes I would be Gina's boy toy in exchange for a HQ coupe and a reasonable weekly retainer. 

  • Ikin would be good - he is smart and played at the highest level but he is not going to leave QLD. We need someone with footy smarts and who has knowledge of things; we will not be able to get a Cameron IMO and again it will be someone on the up I am assuming but we need someone with clout...I would be after Ponisi too as Melb could be moving as per Bellamy being unwell etc. but he seems well entrenched down there.

    The other issue is where we are located - its not on the coast / not QLD etc and not a one city team; we need to go big. This is where Beech should consider sounding out guys like Sterlo for example - he would have good ideas on who; as we do not have ex players besides Hindmarsh in the media. 

  • He would be great, very astute, matter of fact, takes no shit from anyone. Paul Kent did say though his new role is non sport related and he is excited about doing that. Plus family live in Brisbane, doubt he would want to work interstate regularly.

  • timmy mannah anyone? green i realise, but sounds like he has been successful in business, and has alot of footy nouse as well. Meida and eels experience too. 

  • Ikin took a startup CEO role a few months ago with SearchX - although he'd definitely be getting paid in equity more than cash...and I don't know whether real estate tech automation is going to be the hot area every expected it to be a few years ago.

    Smart guy, would definitely be worth tapping on the shoulder but given he just took this other gig it wouldn't be a great look for his career to dump them 3 months in.
