The Tip Sheet

Sixties is back from the Ken Thornett Medal! He runs through the big night for the Blue & Gold as he and Forty20 review all of the award winners for season 2025. The Tip Sheet then returns to its regularly scheduled previewing as the boys see how the Eels shape up across the NRLW, NSW Cup and HNWP. It is a love/hate relationship with the Raiders this week with the NSW Cup looking to overcome Canberra while the NRLW need a crucial assist from the Raiders if they are to make the finals.

Sixties is absent from The Tip Sheet tonight but very much here in spirit as he does the ground work for the show at the Ken Thornett Medal presentation. Forty20 holds it down on the live stream as the wraps up the final full weekend of action before the off-season arrives for the NRL and Jersey Flegg Cup while Sixties transmits all of the deserved winners from the club's big night. There has been some big market action as the Bulldogs and Sharks lock up core talent on and off the field for the long haul while the Sea Eagles and Knights also made long-term acquisitions. There was one more piece of fascinating signing news with Taylan May rejecting a 3-year deal from the Tigers and the club then almost instantly folding to his counter offer. The intrigue and drama of the finals is well and truly underway with Josh Papalii and Reece Walsh potentially injured at training while Nicho Hynes had his hip-drop charge sensationally downgraded within the space of 24 hours – is it another case of right outcome but troubling process? Laurie Daley is set to join the Sea Eagles as an advisor to Anthony Seibold. What does it mean for the dirty birds and for NSW?

What a what to wrap up 2025! The Parramatta Eels have unloaded an almighty broadside on the Newcastle Knights to consign the Novocastrians to the dreaded wooden spoon following a 66-10 victory at CommBank Stadium. Mitchell Moses turned it on in front a raucous home crowd in a stunning individual showing but he was ably supported by his the full ensemble cast as players got off the nudie run list left, right and centre. It was a bittersweet farewell for Dylan Brown too, made that much sweeter with a try and a conversion (after a cheeky mulligan) etched into the record books for the departing Eel and it was wonderful to see the crowd champion the departing play-maker.

The final round of the NRL season is upon us as the Parramatta Eels celebrate a big milestone for Will Penisini and farewell one of their favourite sons in Dylan Brown. The Tip Sheet breaks out the big guns for a big preview podcast as Chris Ricketts joins the boys from Chicago for the final five-game docket of the year. Parramatta are sending their Jersey Flegg Cup and NSW Cup squads to the finals and the boys run through their respective rosters. It is sudden death for the Flegg and they welcome back Chris Petrus as they take on the Panthers. The Cup face the Dragons and are bolstered by the return of Ronald Volkman and the debut of Isaac Jim. The HNWP are hunting an 8th straight win as they host the winless Dragons while the NRLW are hunting a win of any kind in their game against the Tigers. Finally in the NRL, it will be an emotional day for the Eels with a milestone for Will and the big farewell for Dyl. Can they see off their storied five-eighth with a win and in doing so secure their 10th victory of the season?

It quickly became a frenzied Tuesday for the Parramatta Eels on the last TLT of the year for the NRL. Will Penisini inked an extension to the end of 2028 and was quickly joined in similar fashion by rising prospect Lorenzo Talataina while Jason Ryles has rewarded Dylan Brown with a CommBank Stadium send off against his future employers in the Newcastle Knights. The Tip Sheet is all over it as usual as Sixties and Forty20 break down all the news from Parradise and the NRL as well as taking a peak at the finals rosters of the NSW Cup and the Jersey Flegg Cup.

It ended up a closely fought affair but the Parramatta Eels have secured another prized scalp with a cracking 26-22 upset victory over the New Zealand Warriors. In a contest that was fueled by controversial calls - including some clutch challenges by Mitchell Moses - the Eels held on grimly in the final moments to keep the dreams a 10-win season alive. Sixties and Forty20 break it all down in a live reaction to a big win!

The Eels travel to New Zealand in the NRL while the NRLW jets off to the Gold Coast this week. The lower grades are all over the map as well with the Jersey Flegg traveling to Melbourne while the NSW Cup makes the trek to North Sydney Oval while the HNWP are the solitary team to enjoy a home field advantage with a game out of Kellyville Park on Monday night. The Tip Sheet previews the traveling show that is the Parramatta Eels this weekend and look at how the NRL can build off their outstanding against the Roosters and whether the NRLW can find a much needed bounce back victory against the Titans. With the lower grades all gearing up for the finals, how does each squad shape up this week? Reinforcements have arrived for the both the Cup and Flegg - will that give them the edge with sudden death footy looming?

After a quiet week in the NRL the news cycle has exploded heading into Round 26 with police investigations and sacked coaches heading a crazy docket. The Tip Sheet puts on its PPE and sorties into the chaos as Sixties and Forty20 unpack everything happening in the NRL. The boys ask - did the Eels peak in their rousing 30-10 victory over the Roosters? Josh Addo-Carr rings in a mega milestone as his 200th NRL cap approaches this week while Dean Ritchie was unhappy with the blowback he copped after putting Jason Ryles in his crosshairs. Des Hasler and now Adam O'Brien are goooorne. What is next for the Titans and Knights? Stephen Crichton has been grubbing it up while Brandon Smith is facing drug and gambling charges from the QLD police. The show carefully navigates these sensitive topics and offers what insight they can into the matters.

The Parramatta Eels needed more than just a bounce back effort after slumping to a disconsolate 20-16 loss the Rabbitohs last week and they did exactly that in Round 25 after BLUDGEONING the Sydney Roosters by 20-points. The Eels were relentless and while it should be acknowledged that the Roosters did lose Sam Walker early in the piece, by the second half the Tri-colours were actively wilting under Parramatta's incessant barrage. Sixties and Forty20 revel in a landmark win for the squad as the hard work from the boys and Jason Ryles reaches a frenzied zenith at CommBank Stadium this week!

A pair of tough games await the Eels in the NRL & NRLW this week as the Eels look to upset the in-form Roosters in both grades.

More injuries and another exciting development in the lower grades - yep, just another week in Parradise. Join Sixties and Forty20 on the Tuesday live stream as The Tip Sheet gets stuck into Team List Tuesday and more.

The Eels played some of the worst football in months in Round 24 as they fell shy of the South Sydney Rabbitohs by 4-points. Sixties and Forty20 debrief the frustrating result with Parramatta straying from the style of footy that has seen them win plenty of admirers in 2025.

Sixties, Forty20 and Chris Ricketts analyse all five games on Saturday from Jersey Flegg right through to the NRL to see where the Eels stand and what there is to be gained.

The Tip Sheet looks at how who makes way in Iongi's hypothetical return and how or if it could change the Eels. Sixties and Forty20 take their customary look around the NRL to unwrap all the big headlines and important story lines that are emerging as the code ramps up to the finals.

Where do you even begin to unwrap that pair of results? The NRL won and the NRLW loss but there was so much chaos in between as the both games went down to the wire. We had Trainergate 2.0 - Eelectric Boogaloo. We had controversial calls. We had a b-e-a-utiful game winning field goal from Mitchell Moses. We had the Bunker having to save a terrible missed call at the end of the game. If you enjoy drama the NRL fixture was just the right hit for you as the Eels prevailed by a solitary point to climb to 13th on the ladder. In the NRLW the Eels will be left to rue a game that well and truly slipped through their hands and with it - the chance to leapfrog the Cowboys on the ladder. The Tip Sheet also delves into more chaotic results in the lower grades with the Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup also posting madness induced victories in an all round crazy weekend.

The HNWP - they are looking to claim a fourth straight victory as they host sister club Wenty.

The regularly scheduled news has been waylaid by a bombshell piece of breaking news by NRL Tonight who broke the story of Bailey Simonsson requesting a release from the Parramatta Eels.

A bounceback win is the goal for the NRLW in Round 5 though and they get star forward Kennedy Cherrington back on board as they look to slay the Dragons in Magic Round. Jason Ryles has named an unchanged team in Round 22 as the Eels face the Storm head on. It will be a daunting task as Melbourne welcome back Ryan Papenhuyzen and Cameron Munster but the Southern outfit have lost Jahrome Hughes.

Mary K jumps on board to help Sixties and Forty20 unpack another wild week in the NRL and NRLW. Phil Rothfield teased Parramatta fans with a rumour of a potential backrow addition - is his mail right and who could it be? The Knights have added a second recruit from the Eels to alongside Dylan Brown - could it be his future partner in the halves? Jason Ryles is earning respect in spades across the code with the rookie coach drawing rave reviews from the likes of Andrew Voss and Matty Johns. The general code chaos is no lie with seismic movements due to injuries, retentions and other roster calls. Jahrome Hughes signs on until the end of 2030 with Melbourne in the same week he gets rubbed out for the remainder of the regulation season. What does this mean for Jonah Pezet? Canberra have told Trey Mooney and Chevy Stewart they are free to look elsewhere while the Titans have apparently down the same for Alofiana Khan-Pereira and Beau Fermor.

Additionally, they review a painful loss to the Newcastle Knights in the NRLW where the Eels were left to rue a raft of botched second half opportunities.

Nothing quite hits like a Mitchell Moses return game as Parramatta's talismanic halfback helped inspire a courageous, and chaotic, 22-20 victory over the Brisbane Broncos in Round 21. Joash Papalii played a starring role for most of the night with the #1 on his back but was handed a cruel last minute tribulation and then reprieve in as many breaths as Reece Walsh was found to be offside in the game deciding moment. Sixties and Forty20 have a quick debrief on the roller coaster ride of a game right from Sterlos sports bar after a phenomenal turnout to the first ever TCT watch party. It was standing room only and a humbling show of support from this amazing community. Thanks to one and all for coming out, introducing yourselves and hopefully enjoying a cracking game!

Forty20 flies solo this week to in the Instant Reaction as he reviews the results from the NRL, NRLW and Jersey Flegg.

After copping weeks of brutal Match Review Committee decisions that left Dylan Brown, Ryley Smith, Will Penisini and Kelma Tuilagi sidelined for a collective 9 games, the MRC has found a way to outdo itself after slapping Izack Tago with an embarrassingly weak 1 game suspension for a hip drop tackle that has rubbed Kitione Kautoga out for 8 weeks. It is a damning indictment on both the post-game process and the match officials as the wild inequities of the NRL rise to the surface. Sixties and Forty20 unload on the broken system and the maddening inconsistency of the NRL after the Eels find themselves on the wrong side of the ledger yet again.

The Dogs pull another switcheroo while Cody Walker is done for the year as a calf injury shuts him down.

A plucky first half effort from the Eels gave way to a fragmented second stanza as Parramatta fell to the Panthers in Round 19. While Parramatta were keen to chance their arms and test the reigning premiers, a mounting error toll - and yes, some poor officiating - allowed Penrith to stretch out to what was ultimately a comfortable victory. There is plenty of concern for Kitione Kautoga as well after he succumbed to a hip-drop tackle in the first half. Sixties and Forty20 review the loss and where it leaves the Eels as they turn the corner into the red-hot Raiders next Saturday.
