The 'Super League War' that took place from 1995 to 1997, ultimately leading to the formation of the NRL. Queensland Rugby League CEO Ben Ikin told Peter Psaltis on Wide World of Sports, "We're celebrating 30 years of a period in the game that effectively ripped it in two on Saturday. But you've got what was an 18 year old, fresh faced, pimply kid straight out of high school going up against the CEO of Super League at the time, John Ribot, in the Ross Livermore Lecture." "So it'll be interesting to get the two perspectives around what was such a huge moment for the game, which, to be fair, as ugly as it got, you know, way back when it happened, I reckon some of the learnings we got from Super League, some of the things that they tested have found their way into the game today.

As the Parramatta Eels surge into the Grand Final Qualifier against the North Queensland Cowboys, The Tip Sheet takes a moment to step back and reassess the bigger picture. Spiro joins Sixties and Forty20 to talk about all the happenings around the league and indulge just a wee bit in the glorious win over the Canberra Raiders. The show starts by winding everything back to Friday night as Spiro delivers his takes on the breakthrough victory and what it means for the club. The panel then looks at the status of Tom Opacic and the inclusion of Bryce Cartwright ahead of the trip to Townsville this week. The conversation eventually turns to the unique position that the Parramatta Eels hold inside the domain of the media and why negativity seems to follow them - even after clearing the hurdles set for them in 2022. Next up is the bid by Tyrell Sloan to leave the Dragons. It is the latest chapter of player-vs-club contract drama and the dilemma faced by young stars who need to establish themselves quickly lest they get cast aside is the main theme of the discussion. That chat turns Northwards to Brisbane as rumours of a divide between Ben Ikin and Kevin Walters emerged this week. The Sydney Roosters dominated the RLPA Team Of The Year which leads Sixties to pose the question - did they underperform? The conversation opens up the idea that rugby league players can lead surprisingly insular lifestyles when it comes to the game itself and how that can impact these sort of votes. The show closes out with Spiro delivering his predictions for Friday night and how the Eels will book their place in the big dance come next week!

Ben Ikin is the Head of Football at the Brisbane Broncos, which is one of the largest sporting organisations in Australia. He was a Gold Coast local who enjoyed his upbringing with his family. Growing up in a family with different professions consisting of rugby league, music and dance always provided good conversations at the dinner table amongst the family. He tells a funny story about his selection into the origin arena for the first time. Having played only a few first grade games before his selection in the qld side, the coach (Paul Vautin) didn’t know what he looked like when he first met him so their first encounter was an interesting one. Ben had success during his rugby league career and is still the youngest ever player to play state of origin. Having achieved the highest level in sports and then what seems to me to be a successful transition into the workforce, I wanted to find out how that transition was for him. He gives plenty of practical advice and tips on how to make that transition a good one. A key point I took away from the podcast was to sit down and to write your thoughts and feelings on a particular topic. This was a daily process for him during his 10 year career with the NRL 360 show and gives credit to that skill for the company wanting to keep him around. He emphasises that writing is a good way to form and to articulate your message across an audience. One of the best quotes I got out of the podcast was: “I have not so much fallen in love with what I do, but I have fallen in love with doing the job well. So then people will want to keep me around”. Ben is a supporter of two great charities.

It’s devastating, heart-breaking and the simplest of daily tasks suddenly becomes an overwhelming challenge – for life. The Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation was born to challenge that life-long sentence and challenge the science and medical industries to find a cure for paralysis. In recent years, it has embarked on unveiling one of the world’s most promising hopes of a cure – and it’s being progressed in Australia. A cure of this magnitude doesn’t lay in the hands of one person, it requires a united and multi-faceted model that collectively brings world-class leaders from an array of professions together – to get the ‘job done’. Founded by Perry Cross, the PCSRF aims to facilitate, collaborate and initiate the connections and research required to find a cure for paralysis. About David Mead David Mead has played professional rugby league for 13 years. Spending time with other athletes, coaches and football staff has given him great insight into how the sport is played at a high level. He wants to use insights and stories from these people as well as from his experience to inspire and to empower the youth. He believes in "leaving the place better than you found it."
