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?

In this week's episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan preview Round One of the Super League season, breaking down the key match-ups and early storylines as the campaign gets underway.The conversation then turns to the RFL's strategic review, with Martyn and Jake analysing what it could mean for the future direction of the game. They also discuss speculation around which Super League coach could eventually succeed Craig Bellamy at the Melbourne Storm, should the legendary NRL coach step aside.Off the field, the episode covers major developments across the sport, including the Halifax Panthers facing a winding-up order, Owen Trout signing with the Cronulla Sharks, and the shock news that has sent ripples through Rugby League — Payne Haas will leave the Brisbane Broncos to join the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2027.

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!?

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?

In this Proper True Yarn, Knuckles sits down with comedian Nick Capper for an unfiltered ride through absurd humour, outrageous life stories, and pure Aussie chaos. From his dream of honeymooning with Komodo dragons to meeting Robin Williams, witnessing the bloodiest pub brawl courtesy of “Lloyd Christmas,” and starring in hilarious (and awkward) ads with Cronulla Sharks players, nothing is off limits. Nick shares tales of wild gigs, insane travel moments, near-misses in fights, and the strangest pick-up lines you've ever heard. It's raw, ridiculous, and relentlessly funny – just the way Capper likes it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the industry, they call it the 'second season'. Only eight teams remain as the NRL gears up for a finals series rich with storylines. What are the narratives that will define finals time? Maybe it's the Panthers seeking to find innovative ways to win the title, again. Perhaps it's the Roosters harnessing star power old and new. The infrastructure of the Storm. The complicated momentum of Brisbane. The romaticism and excellence of Canberra. Finals season is here. Featured: Nick Campton, NRL reporter, ABC Sport. Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter
