    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 7: Junior Reps Rd 2 Preview & NRL Trial Sneak Peek

    The Eels are on the road again in Round 2 of the Junior Representatives with all four grades facing the Cronulla Sharks. The Tip Sheet analyses how the Lisa Fiaola, Harold Matthews and SG Ball can build on impressive opening round victories and what the Tarsha Gale need to do to get themselves on the board against the competitors from the Shire. Sixties and Forty20 even throw in a cheeky bonus preview this week with the NRL trial capping off a monster stretch of games at Henson Park on Sunday. Who stands to gain the most this week in the eyes of the coaches? What do we want to see out of the Eels in their first hit out of the year? Is there such a thing as too much footy!?

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 6: Eels Bring The House For Cronulla Trial

    Jason Ryles is going to be a busy man on Sunday night after naming a gargantuan 28-man team list for Parramatta's opening trial against the Cronulla Sharks. Sixties and Forty20 finally shake off the preseason rust as they rip into one of the signpost podcasts of the season because ladies and gentlemen - Team List Tuesday is back! As always, The Tip Sheet goes far and wide across Parradise to look at the latest news including the most recent Lomax developments and the results from the first week of the Junior Representatives. South Sydney blindsided the entire NRL when news emerged on Sunday that they had secured the signature of Payne Haas from 2027 to the end of 2029. How did the Rabbitohs slip under the guard of the Broncos? Is there another twist to this tale? With the contract still in the cooling-off window, the Broncos have a right of reply - can they salvage this situation?

    The Tip Sheet - 2026 Ep 6 - Junior Representatives Super Show feat Steve Georgallis

    The Junior Representatives kick off this weekend with all four grades in action against the Wests Tigers (or their variant Western Suburbs Magpies) and The Tip Sheet launches the season in grand fashion with a monster podcast that features in-depth breakdowns with special guests Steve Georgallis and AJ Lucantonio. A long overdue catch-up with Steve Georgallis sets the scene as the boys reflect on 2025 results with the Elite Pathways Coaching Director and where the club is positioned across the Lisa Fiaola, Harold Matthews, Tarsha Gale and SG Ball Cups heading into the upcoming season. Steve breaks down the new coaching appointments and the challenges and opportunities facing each squad before providing some NRLW updates to round out the interview. The Tip Sheets goes beyond its regular Blue & Gold boundaries in Junior Reps as AJ Lucantonio (of the sensational League Scene fame) joins the show. AJ, quite literally one of the rising voices in junior pathways, walks the boys through the ever-changing landscape of the junior reps and which squads are set to improve in 2026 as well as who is expected to duke it out for each of the four titles. AJ then helps preview all of the Round 1 action for the Parramatta Eels as they make the trek out to Camden to tackle the Wests Tigers/Magpies in what is set to be a sweltering day of footy.

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 5: The Devil's In The Emails; Eels, Lomax Make Opening Claims

    A media blitz today has seen some startling developments in the Parramatta Eels vs Zac Lomax saga as Melbourne CEO Matt Tripp looked to get ahead of incoming bombshell news surrounding subpoenaed emails in a bold interview with the Herald Sun. The Tip Sheet looks at Tripp's sensational claims and stack it up against the opening arguments put forth by the Eels via Arthur Moses as well as the counterpoints laid down by the Lomax camp. The boys take a very quick peek at the first Team List Tuesday of the season with the Junior Reps kicking off this weekend...but save the good stuff for a special preview podcast that will feature Steve Georgallis and AJ Lucantonio! We get our first NRL action of the year as well with the Bulldogs, Cowboys, Dragons and Knights naming their trials squads ahead of their trip to Las Vegas. Who's in, who's out and what can we gleam from the four playing lists?

The Tip Sheet brings you all the news from the camp and more - including the latest on the Zac Lomax saga and some key preseason dates for keen fans of the Blue & Gold. The NRLW gets a massive shot in the arm with a crucial addition to its roster in Layne Morgan. A representative scrum half in union - does Layne project to dummy half for the Eels? In a relatively quiet week for the NRL, the boys look at latest stadia news as WIN Stadium gets in queue for a touch up while over yonder in England they are looking for a new head coach for their international team...and there is a familiar name among the candidates.

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 3: Fair Value, 'Max Drama - Will NRL Overstep In Alarming Precedent_A01_L

    Sixties declared he wanted as much of a Zac Lomax free zone as possible last week but a potentially shocking twist in the story has blown that wish away. Reports emerged yesterday that the NRL could possibly intervene in proceedings in order to force the Eels to release the contractually exiled star to the Melbourne Storm for amounts as a pittance in compensation. This would be a landmark action from the game's governing body and opens up the mother of all cans of worms as The Tip Sheet rip in with their thoughts on the impasse. Believe it or not, there are other things to take about as the boys review another round of Junior Representative trials including a stunning performance by the SG Ball. Sixties brings the latest from training - even with the squad up at Lennox Head - as the Eels continue their build towards the trials. Who is on a hot-seat and who is just dead meat? The boys review the Daily Telegraph's coach security ratings ahead of the 2026 season amongst an assortment of NRL sundry news to wrap up the show.

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 2: Jumbo Juniors Reps Preview

    The preseason rolls on in the new year and the Parramatta Eels continue to ramp up. Sixties has been in his element out at Kellyville with his training reports and the show looks at how the Blue & Gold are shaping up as we begin the gradual turn towards the trial games. Parramatta have locked up another exciting prospect with young forward Max Popo committing to the club until the end of 2028. It marks another priority junior retention for the Eels and the boys review how the club now stands with its young prospects. Speaking of juniors, the pathways are just about in full stride now as they prepare for the launch of their competitions early in February. With trials against the Bulldogs set to solidify each squad, the boys forecast how the junior representatives are set to stack up. The Bears continue to build towards their 2027 debut with another pair of NRL additions. After raiding the Eels for Sean Russell, Mal Meninga then turned to Melbourne where he nabbed Nick Meaney and Tyran Wishart. It marks Perth's most successful recruitment drive to date - so how are they stacking up? NRL clubs are pushing back against constant rule changes as they present a unified front to the governing body. It feels like a similar sentiment to the majority of fans, so how will it all play out?

    8 JAN

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 1: Clause Out, Eels & Lomax Set For Fight Over Rights

    Brian Kelly finally links up with the Parramatta Eels on a 2-year deal but the news cycle has been dominated in the last 24 hours by news surrounding former Eel Zac Lomax. The Melbourne Storm have allegedly approached the Eels about signing the rogue winger. For his part, Lomax has allegedly engaged the services of lawyer Ramy Qutami who has previously represented Isaral Folau in his dispute with Rugby Australia. Can the Eels extract some value from the Storm in a player swap? Buzz Rothfield is certainly stirring the pot in that regard as the boys discuss everything from top to bottom in a rapidly developing situation. Is there anything remotely interesting happening across the code in comparison? The show scours the news channels to find the latest general news for the NRL including a contract extension for Payne Hass...but a very short term extension as he continues to ponder a change of codes.
