In a special episode of The Tip Sheet, Sixties and Forty20 are joined by members of the NSW Physical Disability Rugby League to discuss one of the most empowering branches of our great game. The boys are joined by Rebecca, Che, Geroge, Todd and Joel as they discuss the origins of the PDRL, their recent trip to England for the World Cup as well as what lies ahead for them.

We feared a comprehensive defeat was coming and while the Roosters certainly won handedly...is it odd to say that the Eels still showed a bit of ticker? Sixties and Forty20 review the 38-14 loss in a game where Allianz Stadium almost flooded after a short downpour and the Eels spent 20min of the contest playing with 12 men.

The contest felt closer to water polo than footy at times with the expensive drainage systems at Allianz competely failing to effect the saturated field. The boys look at how the class of the Tri-colour won out against the depleted Eels on a night where both teams struggled defensively. Did anyone stand up? Sixties and Forty20 share their 3 Eels who stood tall on the soggy ground before wrapping up the Round 24 contest.

The Tip Sheet pouts over another action packed weekend for the Parramatta Eels. Sixties and Forty20 cover five full games on the docket with the NRLW and Jersey Flegg in particular looking to flex their aspirations for the finals.

A double header at Eric Tweedale Stadium sees the Flegg and NSW Cup taking on the Newcastle Knights while the HNWP and NRLW face the Wests Tigers across Monday and Sunday respectively. Another Friday night prime time game awaits the NRL boys as they take on the 3rd placed Sydney Roosters.

With a degree of prophetic certainty, The Tip Sheet gets to unload on a bizarre defence of a crucial obstruction no-call from Graham Annesley just one week after highlighting a troubling change in interpretations on the very same topic.

It is safe to say that Sixties, Forty20 and Clint are fired up for this one as they hammer the code for circling the wagons on bad officiating. So yeah, that is the tone for this episode of The Tip Sheet! There are positive things discussed though as the boys celebrate another strong commitment to junior rugby league from Parramatta Leagues Club plus that latest on the roster overhaul as Reagan Campbell-Gillard is linked to other clubs.

The weekend recaps in the NRL and NRLW focus on some suprise results and second half comebacks before the boys poke at some controversial topics centreing around Latrell Mitchell and Kyle Flanagan with handy, handy 10m poles.

Ah yes, The Parra Special. Take an incredibly unlikely stranglehold over the best team in the competition only to let it slip away in the final moments. Throw in a string of controversial calls and no-calls and you have the recipe for an insanely exciting game rife with hope and ultimately heartbreak. Sixties and Forty20 record a morning after reaction in the wake of last night's insanity with feelings still coursing strongly.

A certain podcast just this week popped off about inconsistencies in the interpretation of obstruction. Lo and behold that very subject rearing its ugly head in the single most critical juncture of this game with the Panthers scoring the game winning try on the back of an incredbily contentions blocker run by Liam Martin. The boys sound off about the no-call and discuss what else went wrong for the Eels in that period.

The rest of the game gets broken down after the fiery takes get dialed back to a more gentle simmer as the effort of application of the Eels gets praised for another week running. The boys hand out their 3, 2, 1s and also give a couple of shout outs to the NSW Cup.

The second half of the podcast features Michael Buettner as part of the Pre Game Show with the Parramatta and North Sydney star giving his insight on some topical matters. Why do young talents head to other clubs? Buettner gives his personal insight on the decision to switch from the Eels to the Bears and what goes into such a decision.

There are another five games on the weekend docket headlined by a Western Sydney derby in the NRL and another trip to Brisbane in the NRLW.

The HNWP are up against the Bulldogs while the NSW Cup play curtain raiser to the NRL against the Panthers. Another flight to Brisbane awaits our NRLW squad as they take on the Cowboys. With both teams entering the round at 1-1, can the Eels break parity on the ladder and climb higher?

A shock win over the Warriors has ignited a bit of passion for the Friday night battle againt the reigning (and reigning [and reigning]) premiers. The undermanned Eels stunned the Panthers late last season, can they produce the same kind of magic this week?

The news cycle does not sleep in the NRL with another loaded episode of The Tip Sheet covering everything happening in the code. Sixties, Forty20 and Clint look at the latest happenings in Parradise alongside big news for the rugby league Hall Of Fame as well as troubling trend creeping back into officiating.

Nathan Brown is set to be announced as the right hand man to Jason Ryles in a major step forwards for the coaching staff. Brown, of course, is very familiar with the club and the boys discuss how he will fit right back in at the Eels. Team List Tuesday and the weekend wrap round out a busy week for the club.

There was plenty of spicy action in the NRL and NRLW as the show looks at blowouts, close contests and everything inbetween. The hall of fame has some cracking new inductess but Forty20 doesn't agree with the timing of one individual with a slam dunk resume. The boys then fire up about serious consistency issues from officials when it comes to calling obstruction. What exactly is going on and why has this crept back into the game?

Shaun Johnson has announced his impending retirement and the boys pay tribute to one of the most exciting playmakers of this current era. The episode rounds out with a look at Justin Olam's controversial high shot - was it a send off?

The Eels have punched in a comfortable 30-20 win in Round 22, just as well all expected. Wait, what? Yep, the 2024 Parramatta Eels have not only backed up a gutsy effort against the Storm but showed a legitimate return to form this week to stun the Warriors in Auckland.

Sixties and Forty20 celebrate a cracking team effort headlined by excellent performances from the entire spine. So what was different this week? How did the Eels absorb so much early pressure and convert it into points? The boys walk through the crucial victory and how Parramatta pulled off a wild upset.

The preview pod is waylaid by the massive news that Blaize Talagi is departing the Eels at the end of 2024 as Sixties and Forty20 unpack and debrief an ugly outcome for the club. Why have they bled so many up and coming stars? Where do they go to from here?

There is also some footy to talk about this weekend with five games on the docket. The men are taking on the New Zealand Warriors with all three of the Jersey Flegg, NSW Cup and NRL heading through customs to fly to Auckland. The Flegg are gunning for a spot in the finals while the Cup and NRL are playing for nought but respect.

Sixties, Forty20 and Clint run down Team List Tuesday and the weekend wrap for the Eels as the NRLW opened season 2024 in outstanding fashion against the Broncos.

The rumour engine went into overdrive on Tuesday following Danny Weidler breaking a story that Brian To'o wants a new deal. While the Panthers were quick to try and snuff the rumour out it seems to have some real traction. To'o is already contracted to the end of 2027...so how much is he really worth? In fact, how much is he on right now? The show looks at the answers to these and more.

More injuries have struck the code with Alex Johnston headlining another swathe of entrants to the casualty ward. The show closes out with a call on the grading of the Nu'uauala hip drop tackle and punch. Was it too lenient? What sort of scalar or gradient is needed for charges in the NRLW?
