The Top End awaits the Parramatta Eels in the NRL while Harold Matthews and SG Ball find themselves just one game away from their respective grand finals. There is so much to play for this week and Sixties and Forty20 take a deep dive into all of it in The Tip Sheet!

In the Junior Representatives the Harold Matthews take on the Newcastle Knights while the SG Ball face minor premiers Canberra Raiders. Parramatta's Harold Matthews team produced a splendid team performance last week that showcased some of the finest defence you will in that grade. That now becomes their benchmark ahead of the Newcastle clash. The SG Ball rallied late against a fast and physical Wests Magpies team but will need to find an extra gear against the Raiders.

Lengthy trips lie ahead for the NSW Cup and NRL. Parramatta's reserve grade team fly to New Zealand while the NRL squad heads to Darwin. The boys look at a Cup team sheet that is missing plenty of players while taking on a high quality opponent. It is an even tougher assignment in the NRL where the Eels face the top team in the competition in the Broncos. Still, it makes for an outstanding match-up on paper with both teams fielding fearsome packs and the Eels matching up strongly against Brisbane in recent years.
