    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".

    No way would they even try. Ikin would sack most of them if he was signed. Only after yes men to protect their jobs
