The preseason is just about to begin in earnest as The Tip Sheet barrels into a Pre-preseason episode. Sixties, Forty20 and Clint start the show on a sombre note as they pay respects to former Eel Bob Bugden.

Jersey leaks, Sivo's shocking speed and Mahalia Murphy's run in SAS lead the Parramatta stories this week before the boys turn their eyes to the looming preseason.

In the NRL space, Sixties opens up discussions about NRL supporter numbers as Parra poll strongly behind Brisbane and Melbourne. Addin Fonua-Blake has stunned the Warriors by asking for a release from a long-term deal on compassionate grounds while Dallin Watene-Zelesniak has extended his time at the club. The boys look at the mixed fortunes for the NZ franchise and what it all means.

It has been determined that Latrell Mitchell and Jack Wighton faced false charges for fighting in public earlier this year. It is a serious topic with heavy undertones as the boys discuss what their likely courses of actions are from this point.
