Is there ever really a thing as too much footy? That question gets put to the test this Saturday with the Eels playing five games of senior rugby league across roungly eight and a half hours. The Tip Sheet straps in for the long haul this week as they preview the NRL, NRLW, NSW Cup, HNWP and Jersey Flegg action taking place on Saturday.

There are plenty of enforced changes in the Flegg this week as the boys evaluate a new look squad that takes on the Warriors. It is a similar story in the HNWP where the NRLW trial has sapped them of several players. The girls are looking to build on a strong start to the season as they host the Dragons at Eric Tweedale.

The New Zealand Warriors await the Eels in the NSW Cup as the Blue & Gold plot an upset against the 5th placed visitors. A win could very well see the Eels finishing the round inside the Top 6. Parra's trip to the glitter strip is the focus of the final preview as the Eels, sundered by injuries and rep selection, look to find a way to somehow coral the surging Titans.

As Frank Herbert once famously wrote about the Parramatta Eels, the news must flow. Flow it does this week as The Tip Sheet covers a mountain of topics including the club's new coach, Lorenzo Mulitalo's debut and the latest from both the Harvey Norman Women's Premiership and the NRLW.

Sixties, Forty20 and Clint unpack all the latest from Parradise before getting up to speed with the happenings in the NRL and State of Origin. Brad Arthur has landed a new gig in England while Jarome Luai had an unconvential scare in camp. Are the Maroons on the backfoot ahead of the Game 3 decider? The boys discuss the atmosphere across either side of the border and how Michael Maguire and Billy Slater have their squads trending.

Why did the Eels pick Ryles over Josh Hannay and was it the right call? Was there even a wrong call between the two? The boys discuss what Jason Ryles brings to the club and how his ties to the Melbourne Storm and Sydney Roosters meet the requirements the Eels set in bringing a culture of success to the role.

It won't be a simple path for the new commander-in-chief at Parramatta though as the podcast sift through the challenges that immediately face the new coach. From a potential roster overhaul to locking up key talent and assuaging incoming recruit Zac Lomax...Ryles will need to hit the ground at a full sprint.

A morning after edition of the reaction podcast sees Sixties and Forty20 dissecting a rather water saturated loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Parramatta's woes continued with a 32-16 defeat that was starkly punctuated by sloppy errors and frankly poor footy IQ.

The boys look at the costly mistakes and lapses in judgement as increasingly it is apparent that the Eels are discovering means to lose game as much as their opposition are finding ways to win.

Believe it or not, there was something to salvage from the loss with good debuts from both Charlie Guymer and Jake Tago. Guymer came off the bench and delivered a firebrand effort filled with controlled venom and aggression while Tago worked hard out of the backfield and flashed a bit of explosive playmaking ability in the limited chances he got down the left edge. Sixties and Forty20 chat about their impact and the other players who kept the Eels somewhat competitive last night.

The episode concludes with the recording of the Pre-Game Show where the wonderful David Liddiard joined the boys to discuss footy, his career and the lasting impact he has made off the field.

Debuts for Jake Tago and Charlie Guymer punctuate the preview for the NRL. Trent Barrett continues to tap into the spring of youth amidst Parramatta's struggles as these two debuts follow that of Matthew Arthur last week. Mitchell Moses is fired up and Forty20 thinks that will bring out more of the best in him this week but will it be enough to upset the Rabbitohs?

The Parramatta Eels have finally selected their new head coach. Problem is, only the board knows! The Tip Sheet lock in their picks to start this episode as Sixties, Forty20 and Clint all put their cards on the table.

The Parramatta Eels put together a spirited effort for Matt Arthur's NRL debut but it wasn't enough as they fell 34-26 to the Newcastle Knights. Sixties and Forty20 go in on a terrible effort from the match officials following a series of baffling calls that battered the struggling Eels.

Round 17 has the Eels on the road to Newcastle in all three grades and the boys go in depth to see whether the Flegg and Cup can bounce back from losses to the Raiders last weekend. In the NRL the focus is on the debut of Matt Arthur and how Parramatta can roar out the bye and ambush the Knights.

The Eels roar out of their bye week on the news that Matt Arthur will be making his NRL debut against the Newcastle Knights. The Tip Sheet naturally focuses on this breaking story this week as Sixties and Forty20 look at how Arthur arrived at this point and how he will handle the challenge.
