The series is already over but State of Origin approaches its official zenith ahead of Game 3 as The Tip Sheet cheers on the three Parramatta superstars who will give their all to prevent the sweep. Sixties, Forty20 and Clint talk Origin, Eels, short drop outs and plenty more in a sprawling edition of the show.

On the Parramatta front the final takes from the loss to the Warriors are laid out. The NRLW has appointed co-captains in Kennedy Cherrington and Rachael Pearson while Team List Tuesday sees the Eels rolling out a formidable line-up.

Can the Blues prevent the sweep? The boys argue about who will win on Wednesday night as Billy Slater looks to put the cap on an impressive Origin series. Data on the success of short drops outs has come out which leads to a fun discussion on the meta impact short drop outs have had on the game as well as the game theory behind why you should always attempt them.

There is more cap controversy in the NRL after the Bulldogs allegedly offered Gold Coast star Tino Fa'asuamaleaui shares in a pub as part of a contract offer. The panel are unified in their disagreement with the principle but there are voices in the media that like the idea. Forty20 and Clint point to the slippery slope this can lead to and how it ultimately only benefits a select handful of clubs.
