Out of the frying pan and into the fire this week. The Eels head back to Sydney from a tough loss to the Cowboys in Darwin and head down the M4 to take on the reigning premiers in the Penrith Panthers. It is a brutal assignment but perhaps the one the Eels need given that iron sharpens iron.

Before that though, the show kicks off with a follow up to an editorial Sixties posted in the wake of the Darwin loss. The boys talk about the impact of social media and the difference between fair criticism and the ugly pile-on witnessed on the weekend.

Spiro drops a bomb on where he thinks NRL expansion might be taken in the near future as well detailing all the other action in the game as he takes the fellas Behind The Mic.

A big triple-header at BlueBet Stadium is the focus of the previews as the Eels take on the Panthers in all the grades on Friday. Parramatta will be looking to bounce back from a loss at each level but their opponents are well seeded in every competition and pose quite the hurdle.
