Sixties and Forty20 welcome a very special guest in this episode of The Tip Sheet as Parramatta Leagues Club President Greg Monaghan joins the show.
With Leagues Club elections on the horizon, Greg briefs listeners on several key issues including the initiative to appoint Peter Wynn as club patron and a quartet of special resolutions aimed at bringing a series of common sense changes to the club constitution.
From there the discussion shifts to the recent announcement of Parramatta Live and the exciting vision the club has to create a precinct that will both elevate the game day experience and create a hub of constant activity for the community on any given day.
Greg shares the expected timeline on the redevelopment of the Leagues Club as well as the full extent of the facilities that are planned as part of the precinct. Speaking of facilities, the upcoming launch of the Kellyville Centre of Excellence has everyone excited and the show discusses how that changes the game for the Eels.
The conversation turns to footy as the boys look at Greg’s history as a fan of the game and that iconic Brett Kenny moment – you know the one. The discussion then ranges from the impact of Jason Ryles in his first preseason to where CommBank Stadium ranks among the vaunted footy stadiums in Australia, before Greg signs off with a final message to members.

Sixties, Forty great interview with Greg. The changes to the precinct outlined by him are a testament to the current boards stewardship of the PLC.
I for one can’t wait for this development to materialise. In the meantime I am happy to wait for a big season from the 2025 Eels. I look forward to watching finals football again.
Thanks John. When Parramatta Live is completed it will be incredible.
In the meantime, we need people to vote for these constitutional changes.
Nice “short” podcast. Ever since the stadium opened in 2019 that space between the stadium and the leagues club has been an eyesore with the fence, blue fabric and rubbish left in the space. It’s great that the club is looking to revitalise the space. Hopefully the reforms get up and those on the board can continue with their job. The last thing we need now is someone coming into disrupt this process.
You’d think that getting that space should be a simple process. Should it stay as an eyesore or should it be allowed to be developed into a venue that enhances the stadium experience?
