  • Now i believe Ikin would try and go for a bigger role, always thought he would be a great NRL CEO. But if he is open to it, absolutely i would go for Ikin. Thing that makes him good, and why i doubt V'Landys would go for him for NRL in future, is he is not a yes man and doesn't take crap. He tells it like it is, he is a student of the game and very level headed.

    Ikin would be a great hire for any establishment.

    • We absolutely need a circuit breaker.  He would be the Phil Gould of Parramatta.  Give him the keys to the city

      • Jimmy Barnes already has the keys to the city - he said so in "Saturday Night".

        • LOL

  • He probably wants to retire

  • New Melbourne Storm coach

    • Aint gunna happen they have said taking a job in an other industry 

    • the blokes never coached in his life

  • For it to be an opportunity you have to be looking.

  • Image result for tell them he's dreaming
