The Tip Sheet is also available on Spotify and iTunes!
Ladies and gentlemen…we have a team list! The preseason has slipped into top gear with trials upon us and the Parramatta Eels have delivered a cracking team sheet for their clash against the Raiders. Sixties, Forty20 and Clint are fired up to break it – and all the news – down in a big time edition of The Tip Sheet.
The boys jump right into a quick look at the exciting team sheet and who and what to look out for. Junior Rep results, Mahalia Murphy’s extenstion and 6 All-Star Eels round out the news cycle.
In the NRL the Broncos are making the headlines for the wrong reasons after Adam Reynolds and Pat Carrigan were caught on film in a fiery confrontation. Is it a storm in a teacup or is something festering in Brisbane?
Russell Crowe explains the rules to America…did he do a good job and what is Forty20’s beef with the campaign? Luciano Leilua reportedly wants out from the Cowboys and the Dragons are his rumoured destination. Finally, Bradman best re-signs with the Knights while a pair of Roosters are eyeing off a change of codes.
Any idea what times the flegg and cup trial starts?
Saw a bit of flegg training tonight before my training and they look decent
Flegg is about 12:30pm. Not sure about NSW Cup. I was told about it some weeks ago but haven’t had it confirmed that it’s taking place. It would be straight after Flegg if it’s on.
Update. there is a NSW Cup trial with some Flegg players called up to play that’s preceding the Flegg. It kicked off at about 11:45
Listening to a few podcasts this week, there was a relatively common theme when discussing the Eels. Basically it was compared to most teams , the Eels don’t threaten from their 1 to 5 ( I don’t think Penrith do either ) , and that seems to be the reason why there is no confidence outside the club of success.
I think it was Joel Caine who simply said , they are at least top 5 in forwards and halves but bottom 5 in backs with not enough speed to threaten from inside their own half when compared to the top 5 or 6 clubs. That does take away the impact the 6 and 7 have in speed, but it’s something that would be good or needs to get addressed.
