Troy Grant is "set to quit" as International Rugby League Exec Chair after "delivering the game’s most substantial schedule in a generation." Grant, who last week announced the men’s World Cup will be delayed until 2026 and the women’s tournament will be played as a standalone event in 2028, will "step down from the job later this year." His decision "will come as a surprise" after he joined the IRL just months before the COVID-19 pandemic. The IRL is "expected to appoint a new executive chairman later this year," with Grant "citing pressure juggling his own full-time work with the rugby league role for deciding to move on" (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 8/7).
