In a rare condensed episode, Sixties, Forty20 and Spiro blast through all the big headlines in the week that was for the NRL. Starting with a couple of cruel near misses for the Eels in the player transfer market, the boys look at what could have been for Parramatta if either Marty Taupau or David Klemmer had been able to join the club immediately.

The conversation on Klemmer turns to the bizarre situation he now finds himself in Newcastle with the big middle forward stood down over an on-field incident with a trainer. Yep, you read that right - an on-field incident!

The Tigers are at loggerheads with the NRL over the Cowboys drama but they are now also butting heads with the NSW Government after funding was withdrawn for Leichardt Oval. Spiro relates his most recent experience at the venue and how it might be time for the club to focus their own resources elsewhere.

The show caps off with a check in on the lottery that is the Match Review Committee as Nelson Asofa-Solomona dodges a suspension for the umpteenth time. The trio are in unanimous agreement that the MRC got it badly wrong. Last stop is the upcoming at Manly and a rumour surrounding Clinton Gutherson playing in the halves this week but Sixties is quick to set the record straight.

Someway, somehow the Parramatta Eels have completed a sweep of the Penrith Panthers with a 34-10 victory over their Western Sydney rivals in Round 20. The ensemble cast of TCT are live from Jacks Bar & Grill where they are joined by Eels' Legend Peter Wynn in front of packed and rowdy house! Sixties and Forty20 chat about Wynn's famed careers as both a player and an entrepreneur before getting his take on the game.

Mitch and Gol join the panel in their liveshow Tip Sheet debuts to dissect the big win as well as look at what looms ahead for the Blue & Gold. Sixties makes a bold call about the future of a popular Eel while the developing story around Martin Taupau and Parramatta gets a run.

While they have struggled for traction in recent weeks, the Parramatta Eels have a golden opportunity to sweep the reigning premiers in Round 20. Sixties and Forty20 breakdown all three grades in the games against Penrith this weekend with the Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup also set for pivotal clashes in their respective grades.

Even without the services of Jarome Luai and Stephen Crichton, the Panthers are a truly formidable pine up from 1-17. The boys discuss what it takes to beat them and reflect and how the Eels managed that elusive feat back in Round 9. The focus switches to tomorrow night and who needs to fire, what the Blue & Gold need to go and how the Parramatta might be able to crack the vaunted Penrith defensive line.

In possibly the most insane, drama laden week in the history of the NRL we have some of the most significant issues facing the game on and off field in quite some considerable time. Sixties, Spiro and Forty20 head the news edition of The Tip Sheet to discuss all of it...and we mean all of it in one of the most charged episodes of the show.

We kick off with the biggest headline in the game as the complex fallout from Manly's pride/inclusion jersey weighs heavy across the code and country. The boys look at how it all played out - from mismanagement and miscommunication to deeper issues and implications.

The Titans have sacked Kevin Proctor after the backrower posted himself vaping at halftime in Round 19 to social media. Proctor was on a short leash after prior incidents and The Tip Sheet explores how the Titans are in the midst of a cultural crisis as they remain mired in mediocrity on the field.

From there it is on to the judiciary where Corey Waddell and Dale Finucane both received length suspensions. Spiro contends that the tough Cronulla lock was hard done by while the panel were in consensus about the Waddell decision.

After some NRL housekeeping, the show finally rolls on to the Parramatta Eels where a dive into the numbers shows that on both and team and individual level the Blue & Gold are below their best. Spiro applies the macro lens to the overall roster while Sixties looks at two underperforming members in the spine.

All this culminates in a look at the game on Friday night where the Eels need to upset the Penrith Panthers in order to keep pace with a frenetic scramble for the Top 4.

Sixties and Forty20 are joined by Steve Ella in the wake of a 36-14 loss to the Brisbane Broncos in Round 19. Spearheaded by a masterful display by Adam Reynolds - and sprinkled with a dash of luck - the Broncos proved to be too good in the wet conditions at CommBank Stadium on Thursday night.

Join the boys both live from Jacks Bar & Grill and later in the home 'studios' (a generous term!) as they talk about the game and plenty more with the legendary Steve Ella.

With no NSW Cup or Jersey Flegg this week, Sixties and Forty20 go all out previewing a pivotal clash against the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL. The Eels and Broncos lead off Round 19 with a Thursday night game at CommBank Stadium and the boys breakdown the resurgent Brisbane franchise and how they have turned it all around in 2022.

Of course there is plenty of Parramatta talk as well with the Eels' steady build against the Tigers and Warriors positioning them ideally for a tilt at the Broncos this week. The prize? Potentially a berth in the Top 4 by the end of the week. Not only that but the Blue & Gold are looking to cash in their 6th straight win over the Broncos.

The boys will be live from Jacks Bar & Grill for the post-game debrief tomorrow night. Steve Ella is the guest of honour this week and he has some big boots to fill after Neville Glover wowed a full house with his smooth moves on the dance floor!

Round 18 of the NRL saw some crazy results and crazier storylines develop. Naturally The Cumberland Throw Nonstop News Network is ready to break it all down. With award winning* heavyweight anchors Sixties and Forty20 joined by industry insider Spiro the most dynamite news and discussion panel in rugby league talk the Eels and NRL as the race to the finals heats up.

Spiro gives his final takes on the Origin series before the boys discuss the late game fades troubling Parramatta over the last fortnight. Some unique and downright bizarre happenings from the games featuring the Roosters, Knights and Tigers' games are analysed before a brutal and pivotal injury to the Storm caps the Round 18 discussion.

The trio look at a story broken the previous night about Brad Arthur and what it really means before Spiro offers his insight into the Wests Tigers and their new look coaching set-up. Some breaking news on an ugly situation facing Mitchell Moses hopefully closes that chapter.

*awards pending, probably perpetually pending

Just a week after Sixties and Forty20 had a wonderful sit-down with Bill Richards, they get a prized opportunity to discuss life, footy and everything in between with a player that has thoroughly impressed in 2022. Jersey Flegg fullback and captain Corey Fenning takes time out of his busy schedule to join The Tip Sheet in a special episode of the show.

The boys talk about a wide array of topics and issues on and off the field that have shaped Corey in his rugby league journey thus far. Corey details how he arrived at the Eels this year and how he has embraced his role as both captain and a mentor to a young Flegg squad.

It isn't just about footy anymore either with the importance of a parallel working career higher than ever. Sixties and Forty20 dive into the topic with Fenning and explore how he balances an extremely busy week. The show finishes with a look at the Flegg's run into the finals and just how much noise the Eels can make if they hit their stride.

You know a good win at home means the boys are live from Jacks Bar & Grill and they welcomed back Neville Glover this week to talk Eels vs Warriors and State Of Origin. Neville breaks down his experiences with representative football before showing off some smooth dance moves for the house!

The boys look at a largely solid performance from the Eels against the Warriors as the Blue & Gold secured their first back-to-back wins since Rounds 10 and 11. A pair of defensive blemishes late in the game took some of the lustre off the win but the forwards dominated the ruck while the spine chimed in at opportune times with both Mitchell Moses and Reed Mahoney making key contributions.

Parramatta are finally back home where they setup for a massive three game stretch that starts with the New Zealand Warriors. Sixties and Forty20 have plenty to talk about across all three grades this weekend but first there is just a little bit to be said about State Of Origin III!

After venting their spleen about the issues plaguing the Blues, the boys turn their eyes to Round 18. The Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup are locking horns with the Cronulla Sharks and their Cup affiliate the Newtown Jets. With the Sharks seeded 4th in the Flegg and 2nd in the Cup, the Eels are up against some quality opposition.

As always the show reaches its zenith with the NRL preview where the focus is on a Parramatta outfit hunting for both consistency and a second consecutive win. With two more games in two weeks to come at CommBank Stadium this shapes up as a huge kickstarter for the Blue & Gold.
