A road trip to the nation's capital is all that is left for the Parramatta Eels ahead of their bye. It won't be a simple road trip though given that the Canberra Raiders are riding a 3-game win streak and playing full of confidence. Sixties and Forty20 break down a huge game for the Blue & Gold in this week's preview podcast but there is plenty else to talk about before that.

Spiro is back to chat about the good and bad from the victory over the Sea Eagles. From Parramatta's slow start to the slew of controversial calls, the trio go into depth for it all. After missing out on Herbie Farnworth the Spiro raises the tip that the Eels have finally looked to have secured their next piece for 2023 with rumours connecting the club to rising backrower J'maine Hopgood.

The news is chock full of Origin talk this week and it starts with a swathe of Tarsha Gale Eels selected in representative squads. Throw in a trio of NRLW Eels earning call ups to the extended NSW team and there is plenty to celebrate. A quick game of 'Which Is Better' wraps up all the content before the breakdowns of Round 12.

The previews centre on the triple header at GIO Stadium as the Eels look to get revenge on the Green Machine in the Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup.
