MAL Meninga's desire to remain involved with the Queensland team and to stay in the game beyond a new three-year contract as head coach is the remaining box to be ticked in his talks with the QRL.
Meninga is keen to take on the Origin coaching role until the end of 2018, with the QRL considering no other options for the head coach role.
Queensland's 10-year Origin coach had been equivocal in the past year about his planned longevity in the role, but is now eager to enter into another long-term commitment.
"I'm looking at opportunities past the three-year extended (contract period),'' Meninga said.
"That's where it's at presently. I would love the opportunity to stay involved in some capacity.''

Meninga told The Courier-Mail on Wednesday that talks with the QRL had been positive.
QRL chairman Peter Betros said he hoped Meninga would sign a new contract before the Origin series starts in late May and said talks also extended to identifying further opportunities for the former Test captain at the QRL.
While agreement on a role for Meninga at Origin level once he stops coaching has not yet been reached, his knowledge and feel for Origin would be invaluable to incoming coaches.
Meninga also has associations with Papua New Guinea rugby league and his former club, Canberra.
NSW has had four coaches — the late Graham Murray, Craig Bellamy, Ricky Stuart and Laurie Daley — during Meninga's tenure with the Maroons.
Meninga and selectors will sort through form over the next month before the May 27 series opener against NSW in Sydney.
Fitness permitting, there will be precious few changes to the team which won the third game of last year's series 32-8.
Queensland will be based at Sanctuary Cove before two of the three matches but the team will convene in Victoria to prepare for Game II in Melbourne.
