The NRL team has spent a week on the tools as Jason Ryles goes old school in the preseason. The Tip Sheet looks at what the boys have been up to ranging from gardening, landscaping and bricklaying to maintenance work at Parramatta Leagues Club. It has been a busy work elsewhere for the Eels as Sixties, Forty20 and Clint look at a raft of retentions and signings as the club bolsters the NRL, NRLW and beyond.

Who are the big winners and losers from the 2025 NRL draw? Where do the Eels stand after years of brutal scheduling? In other NRL news, Shane Richardson has boldly declared that the Tigers have both the best spine and best backup spine in the NRL. How close to the mark is he?

Ben Hunt has landed at the Broncos but where does he fit once everyone is available? Hunt is joined on the NRL transaction list by Bronson Xerri's extension at Canterbury and Lachlan Illias shifting to the Dragons. The show looks at all of these movements and what they mean for each player and club.
