The Tip Sheet farewells 2021 on a high note following the news of Junior Paulo's 4-year contract extension. Before that though they talk a different kind of junior with Joey Grima as they check in on the junior representative pathways before the Christmas break in what is their busiest period of the year.

Sixties and Junior discuss the importance of retaining Paulo and how it tips the scales back towards the Eels in terms of their long-term outlook. With one of their talismanic leaders committed to the club for four more years, Parramatta have two monstrous cornerstones for their forward pack in Paulo and Reagan Campbell-Gillard.

The additions of Josh Hodgson for 2023 and Bailey Simonsson for next season give Parramatta a distinctly Canberran flair to recruitment. The boys weigh up the pros and cons that the grizzled veteran Hodgson will bring to the roster.

The boys zip through the Blue & Gold news with Jock Brazel earning an invitation to the Future Blues camp while the club finalised its NRLW roster for the first of two competitions in 2022.

It couldn't be any more fitting to sign off for 2021 than to get a comprehensive run down from training from Sixties. He talks Forty20 through the new faces, who is impressing - including the sensational arrival of Bailey Simonsson.

And with that we put the full wrap on the year of 2021! We would like to wish all our listeners and readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May you eat an outrageously large amount of delicious food and enjoy the company of those you love. See you in 2022!
