The Tip Sheet celebrates a big week for Abbi Church, Kennedy Cherrington and Rory Owen with the 3 Parramatta NRLW stars earning selection NSW and QLD in the upcoming State of Origin series. Sixties and Forty20 share in the milestone moment for Abbi and Rory and cheer for Kennedy's triumphant return to the arena.

The podcast then turns to a busy weekend of footy - even with the NRL on the bye. The Junior Representative plows on for the Eels with the Lisa Fiaola, Tarsha Gale and SG Ball Cup squads all vying for a berth in their respective Grand Finals. The girls will face the Canterbury Bulldogs in both grades while the boys take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Sixties and Forty20 run through the line-ups for each team and reflect upon the previous meetings this season for each grade and how that could influence each outcome this weekend.

The Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup are also taking the Rabbitohs in Round 8 as they travel to Redfern for a Saturday double-header. Both teams are well positioned inside the Top 4 coming into this weekend and have the chance to consolidate their positions against struggling South Sydney outfits.
