The Queensland Rugby League will honour Maroons coach Billy Slater's own timetable on contract negotiations because chairman Bruce Hatcher says he is "one of a kind".
Slater is off-contract at the end of this State of Origin series, already wrapped up with an unassailable 2-0 lead, and Hatcher said the QRL was not concerned by Slater's reluctance to make any definitive statements about his future when probed by media at press conferences.
