    It is Eel vs Steeler this week in Round 4 of the Junior Representatives. The Tip Sheet previews the quartet of games between Parramatta and Illawarra as the Lisa Fiaola and Tarsha Gale get back on the road while the Harold Matthews and SG Ball finally get to settle in for their first home game of the season.

The lads discuss what this might mean and who needs to step up this week for the Blue & Gold.

How do the Harold Matthews and SG Ball fare in their opening home game of the season?

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 14: Eels Hit Turbulence As Foxx Injured, Iongi Faces Integrity Unit

    Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the seatbelt sign due to expected turbulence; please remain seated with your seatbelt fastened. Just when things were going so well for the Parramatta Eels ahead of Round 1, the footy gods have deigned to do a cheeky little bit of smiting and put the Eels through a pocket of rather turbulent and stormy air. Forty20 flies solo this week with Sixties attending the PLC AGM and looks to navigate the tricky news that has suddenly besieged the Eels out of nowhere. How long is Josh Addo-Carr out for? Who replaces him? What is Isaiah Iongi accused of and what can he and the club expect in terms of a potential punishment? There are a lot of moving parts here for players, club and fans and as always The Tip Sheet looks to deliver a measured response. Believe it or not, there was footy on the weekend. Forty20 recaps the trial and junior representative results before taking a peek at a representative forward that has been linked to the Parramatta Eels over the course of today. Ivan Cleary successfully represented his son Nathan at the judiciary resulting in a 2-game suspension been downgraded to a fine. Opinions have been split over the decision - who is in the right? In non-Lomax litigation news, Jackson Topine has dropped his court case against the Bulldogs but has also picked up a contract with South Sydney while the Perth Bears tack on another acquisition with Scott Sorenson adding premiership experience to the expansion franchise.

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 13: Get What You Need - Eels Get Great Tune Up Against Roosters

    While they now wait pensively to see if the $100,000 preseason bounty will be theirs to claim pending the result between the Storm and Gold Coast, more importantly the Parramatta Eels got the final hit out they would have been aiming for. The Sydney Roosters gave them a terrific battle throughout leaving Jason Ryles with plenty of tape - both positive and negative - to work with ahead of Round 1. Sixties and Forty20 debrief on the Gosford trial. What did they like? Where do the Eels need to sharpen up? Was there any late movement in the positional charts? The boys also go around the grounds for the Harold Matthews and SG Ball where the Eels prevailed against the Tigers in both grades.

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 12 - Junior Reps Rd 3 & Roosters Trial Previews

    It is just the Harold Matthews and SG Ball Cups in action this weekend as they travel to Leichardt to tussle with the Tigers in Round 3. Both grades are seeking to maintain their perfect starts to 2026 but with Balmain coming out of a bye in both grades - what should the Eels be wary of ahead of their third straight road trip? The NRL preseason hits its frenzied zenith this weekend and Parramatta find themselves right in the mix to claim the $100,000 prize. Jason Ryles has named a full-strength outfit as the Eels head to Gosford to face the Sydney Roosters. What do the boys think of the team? Who has a chance to make the most important final impressions? Which rookies are edging closer to a potential debut?

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 11: Eels Gear Up For Gosford, Origin Changed Forever

    We have arrived at the final week of preseason trials as Jason Ryles and the Parramatta Eels prepare a full strength outfit for the Sydney Roosters in Gosford. The Tip Sheet looks at the ins and outs of the team list this week, who has stolen a march in the battle for positions and which rookies look to have the early running. Sixties and Forty20 recap the week that was for the Eels including final thoughts on their trial against the Sharks before touching on the latest media comments on the Zac Lomax saga. One Bulldogs has escaped serious injury but another wasn't as lucky. While Matt Burton will be on the plane to Vegas, Leo Thompson is set to miss up to 10 weeks for the Bulldogs with a calf strain. The luckless Te Maire Martin is looking at 3 months on the sideline after breaking his leg as the toll of the trials hits teams. State of Origin has been changed forever. After years of discussion over eligibility rules the NRL has blown selection protocols wide open by removing the requirement to declare for Australia to the formula. Henceforth, as long you meet the other key criteria (Born in NSW/QLD, resided in NSW/QLD by 13, father player for NSW/QLD) you can be selected for the relevant side regardless of your national allegiance. What does this mean for the game's showpiece series?

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 10: Eels Impress In All Phases In Return To Henson Park_A01_R

    Ah, that time of year when trials mean nothing or everything! Where do Sixties and Forty20 fall on that famous preseason spectrum after the Parramatta Eels annihilated the Cronulla Sharks 40-6 on Sunday night? The Tip Sheet delves into the opening hitout of the year as Jason Ryles made full use of a 28-man roster. What areas impressed the boys the most? Who enhanced their stock? Did we see enough from the young outside backs to move the needle on depth in the unit?

    The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 9: Scandalous New Evidence Emerges In Lomax SagaUntitled

    The Lomax Saga has taken a wild twist today with evidence presented by Parramatta Eels in court alleging the Melbourne Storm attempted to leverage NRL CEO Andrew Abdo to "apply the blow torch on parramatta to get this done" while also allegedly coercing the Eels with the threat of punitive means being enacted against Parramatta's salary cap. The Tip Sheet reacts to the sensational claims, brought on by legal discovery, and how they threaten to blow the lid on the code in this landmark case. Sixties and Forty20 discuss the implications brought on by today's revelations including some extremely uncomfortable questions raised around neutrality and the balance of power in the code. How can this be resolved and how concerned should fans - not just of the Blue & Gold - be moving forwards?

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!?
