The Parramatta Eels are chasing a 4th straight win and their first berth in the Top 8 in 2023 this weekend. The Tip Sheet looks at how a Moses and Paulo-less Eels can take down the Manly Sea Eagles - who are also missing a couple of stars.

Brad Arthur has tasked Ryan Matterson and Daejarn Asi with the responsibility of steering the Eels around the park on Saturday. Sixties and Forty20 look at how the newest iteration of the spine will operate. Matterson wasn't the only Eel to make a return, Joe Ofahengaue is back to boost the forwards while official club media has Shaun Laune pegged as an outside chance of playing. The boys talk about how both players will impact the team.

The NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg squads have both been on tough runs in recent weeks. Sixties and Forty20 discuss the why of it all and what they can do to turn it around this week.

The Tip Sheet goes back-to-back off the public holiday as Sixties, Forty20 and Clint talk NRL & news. The boys take a final look at Parramatta's sweep of the Bulldogs before celebrating Mitchell Moses and Junior Paulo earning selection for the Blues.

One of the most fascinating team sheets of the season was released and it answered the question of who will replace Moses in the halves. 'BA' has a plus sized answer as Ryan Matterson returns from injury to don the #6 for the Eels. 'Matto' partners Daejarn Asi while Joe Ofahengaue also returns in a massive double boost for the Blue & Gold. The news gets even better when it is revealed that Wiremu Greig is just 6 weeks away from a return!

The Cup and Flegg are doing it tough at the moment and the show looks at the why of it all before Sixties unloads on the NRL for a bizarre draw that sees the Eels as the only club to not receive a beneficial bye during any of the three State of Origin games.

The NRL news focuses largely on State of Origin but the boys also look at Jake Arthur getting the nod to start against the Eels. Shane Flanagan is set to be the next head coach of the Dragons while Trent Robinson and the Roosters are feeling the heat in 2023.

Surely did the King reign on his public holiday birthday but Mitchell Moses shone brightest as the Eels sent the Dogs packing 34-12. Sixties and Forty20 have plenty to unpack in this week's Instant Reaction Podcast but it starts with a withering criticism of some bizarre rulings from the Bunker. From Sivo getting robbed of a clear try to straight up contradictory rulings on strips the boys unload.

Next it is time to break down big games from Mitchell Moses and Clinton Gutherson. Moses all but buried the competition for the NSW #7 with a sparkling effort while Gutherson bagged a first half hat-trick. Daejarn Asi and Brendan Hands also carried the load with expanded roles this week while Parramatta's bench continues to lift with Ogden and Makatoa leading the rotational charge.

The Tip Sheet previews one of Parramatta's traditional grudge matches as the Eels visit the Bulldogs on the King's Birthday public holiday. Sixties and Forty20 cover yesterday's result in the Jersey Flegg before running their eyes over the NSW Cup and NRL matches.

The losses of Wiremu Greig, Joe Ofahengaue and Dylan Brown are somewhat offset by the huge return of Reagan Campbell-Gillard from a groin injury. Junior Paulo is also back after representing the Blues in Adelaide. The boys look at how the likely inclusion of Daejarn Asi will impact the team and what needs to be done to ensure the Eels secure the win on the weekend that 'BA' becomes King Arthur as the longest serving head coach of the club.

There is plenty to talk about coming off a long bye week and The Tip Sheet covers it all in a massive episode. Sixties, Forty20 and Clint kick things off with a nod to head coach Brad Arthur as he overtakes Brian Smith to become the longest tenured coach of all time at the Parramatta Eels.

The boys then have a serious discussion about Dylan Brown and the circumstances that led to the NRL standing him down for the foreseeable future. The talk turns to who will replace him with new recruit Daejarn Asi primed to be the next man to step up.

It almost wouldn't be a news podcast without another Eel injured and frustratingly it is breakout stud Wiremu Greig who has joined the injured list. Wiremu has a Lisfranc fracture - an injury that will likely end his season. There is good news though with Reagan Campbell-Gillard back from a groin injury as well as more reinforcements on the horizon.

Next up the show brings you all of the news and award winners from the Junior Representatives Awards Night. The gala event celebrated all three teams making the finals and the SG Ball claiming a record setting 14th title.

Origin and concussion dominate the backend of the show. Injuries to Nathan Cleary and the live injury to Api Koroisau have thrown the NSW Blues into disarray. Will Mitchell Moses be called up? What does that mean for the Eels?

The Tip Sheet records one of its most bittersweet episodes ever as Sixties and Forty20 welcome Joey Grima on to the show for perhaps the final time as an Eel. Joey has accepted a massive role with Papua New Guinea Rugby League as they spearhead a claim for NRL expansion. Joey will assist that drive as the Director of Coaching & Pathways as he installs and develops the talent pipelines that ensure that PNG is competitive at the highest levels.

Before all of that though, Joey debriefs Sixties and Forty20 on the wonderful season the Eels enjoyed in the Junior Representatives. From the SG Ball premiership to the talent flowing through to the NRL and NRLW, Joey explains why the Eels are set up for success.

The conversation then turns to Joey's new calling and the exciting challenge that awaits him. Papua New Guinea are serious about claiming the title of 18th team in the NRL - so much so that Peter V'landys fully endorsed their bid on the weekend. The show looks at how Joey arrived at his decision and how he will help the bid reach fruition.

The Parramatta Eels have a much needed bye in the NRL but the news cycle keeps churning on regardless. Sixties, Forty20 and Clint take a final look at the tidy win over the North Queensland Cowboys before looking at the expanding responsibilities of Nathan Brown at the club. Brown, who actually revealed the news on The Tip Sheet weeks earlier, has joined the NRL as a coaching consultant and will aid Dean Widders and his new look squad in the 2023 season.

Jason Ryles has left the Dragons stunned with an all-time backflip. The highly sought after coaching commodity has inked a long term deal with the Melbourne Storm where he is set to become the heir to Craig Bellamy. The boys discuss how St George can pick up the pieces and where they need to go from rock bottom.

The tragic circumstances behind Daniel Anderson's beach accident have finally been revealed with the former Eel now a quadriplegic. The boys pay their respects to Anderson, who is showing truly remarkable character in the face of this trial, and let everyone know they can help via www.danielandersonfund.com.au .

State Of Origin, NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg Previews and NRL Tips close out the show as the disastrous fallout from NSW's capitulation against a 12-man QLD outfit intensifies.

The Tip Sheet sits down this week with Adam Fairley, the General Manager of Parramatta Junior Rugby League. Sixties and Forty20 discuss the state of the Parramatta district as the recovery from the brutal COVID impacted years hits full stride.

Rising participation rates in general and the year on year growth in the female space are driving the district forwards but the trio discuss what more can be done. League adjacent programs like League Tag and touch footy and the introduction of a gala day at CommBank Stadium are just some of the programs helping engage Parramatta juniors.

The community spirit among clubs and the rise of positive social media also feature in the discussion. Fairley has worked heavily to spotlight the things that make junior rugby league so memorable - including games of the week and sensational tries scored across the competitions.

John Muggleton joins Sixties and Forty20 to preview the Round 13 match against the North Queensland Cowboys live from Jacks Bar & Grill. 'Muggo' shares some astute insights and cracking stories with the boys ahead of a crucial game for the Eels with a much needed bye in reach.

The boys then reconvene after full time to break down a gritty win for the Blue & Gold with the home team prevailing 24-16. The snake-bitten Eels battled through another injury setback this week with new recruit Joe Ofahengaue only seeing 10min of play before leaving the field with a calf injury.

Sixties and Forty20 look at how the Eels overcame a vastly more focused North Queensland outfit this week and discuss who helped win the day - including another career defensive highlight for Dylan Brown.

The first Origin split round has arrived as the Parramatta Eels host the North Queensland Cowboys on Friday night. Sixties and Forty20 look at Parramatta's match-ups across the weekend with the Jersey Flegg taking on the Melbourne Storm and the NSW Cup tackling the table-topping North Sydney Bears.

The preview podcast starts with the Jersey Flegg and the arrival of Joshua Lynn to replace the injured Ethan Sanders. The Eels let victory slip through their fingers last week amidst a string of injuries and will be looking to bounce back this week. In the NSW Cup the Eels take their first steps forwards without Jake Arthur and the boys have immediate concerns about how the team will fare. Daejarn Asi takes over in the halves while Zac Cini gets a chance at fullback - can either player make the difference?

Injuries have ravaged the Eels in the NRL while Origin selections have taken a toll on the Cowboys. It sets the scene for an intriguing battle on Friday night but perhaps the timely arrival of Joe Ofahengaue can swing the tide towards the Blue & Gold. The boys discuss where the game can be won and how the rise and rise of Wiremu Greig and Bryce Cartwright in 2023 has the Eels positioned to win a crucial round.
