TICK tock. Tick tock.

Decisions at a NRL Commission board meeting today could bring a timeline and criteria for expansion of the league.

However, don't hold your breath for an announcement by the end of the day.

That is how CQ NRL Bid chief executive officer Denis Keeffe thinks.

The board meeting today will discuss the NRL Commission's strategic plan, of which any future expansion would be part.

"Some of the things in the strategic plan have already been implemented," Keeffe said.

He said any decision at the meeting could be weeks before being announced publicly as there were a number of bodies to report to.

"I think they will set some criteria and timelines," Keeffe said.

Meanwhile, the bid's development squads will head to Brisbane on Thursday to play against Marsden State High School.
