The TIp Sheet is also available on Spotify and iTunes!
The Dolphins and the Eels meet in Round 10 with both aquatic franchises hungry for victory. The Tip Sheet analyses how the two rosters stack up and which players loom large in just the third meeting between the two clubs.
Sixties and Forty20 preview the lower grade action with the NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg Cup taking on the Canterbury Bulldogs. Both squads are heavily impacted by injuries this week so how do they find paths to wins?
Anyone know what’s happening with the new Centre of Excellence. Was of the impression it was going to be opened to the players this week??
Very interested to know what is happening with Martyn. The club put him on the injury list which makes me think he has a future at the club. But when he was available he was playing RM with the likes of Smalley and Loizou preferred over him in cup which would indicate he has no future at the club.
I think he was injured through the pre season? Could just be loizou and Smalley getting full preseasons so they’re preferred at the start of the season.
Thanks gents, I always look forward to my TCT fix.
Excited to hear you talk about Patron packages. I don’t have the smarts to offer an opinion on how podcasts best attract much needed revenue.
But as a small business operator, I know that cash flow is queen and lump sumps are king.
I can only comment as a fan of TCT, I would be happy to lock into a yearly package where a set fee is applied as a lump sum payment. Personally I wouldn’t expect anything other than appreciating the content but I can’t speak for all. Perhaps a member package including exclusive TCT merchandise might serve not only as incentive but also as exposure.
Sixties you said yourself, this site attracts more than an impressive traffic flow and for good reason. I absolutely love the motivation behind TCT, it’s clear to all that TCT was born as a passion project but, you and John deserve to be supported.
We have over 500000 supporters globally, they all should know about TCT, exposure and marketing costs $$$ and it is an injustice when Eels fans don’t know that TCT exists. I would be thrilled to see a TCT ad on the big screen at Commbank.
TCT is by far the most credible, trustworthy and passionate Parra supporter site in the world. It deserves to be heard and seen.
I can’t imagine that if a Parra fan watched or heard one episode would not come back for more. Seriously, where could you go for detailed content on all things Eels.
Instant reactions, come on, who has this level of dedication. It can be taken for granted, two guys drop everything in a heartbeat if major Eels news breaks anytime of the year.
I would love to see the boys go next level, supporters will be the greatest beneficiaries. I can see the day where this show will be broadcasted from a studio where current and former players as well as rugby league profiles are a weekly fixture.
Don’t be shy, don’t feel guilty, you don’t get if don’t ask and all you’re asking for is support to give in return.
Oh the game, Eels by 22, Mitch to have a blinder.
Currently you have patrons but have you thought about putting advertising on your site? If you go on a platform like Youtube or something similar would that expose you to a greater audience and thus more revenue? Just my uneducated thoughts.
Good points and agree sixties on the fox being a very good signing, his pace and experience has shown to be tremendously valuable to this team.
I don’t think people realise, Josh Ado car scores tries at times which no other winger at our club would score, he is still possibly one of the games best finishers actually regarding wingers.
People can also thank Josh for helping Sean russel. This is the first time in his career that he is playing centre and not being (no offence) defensively weak, the coaching staff have helped Sean, But Josh ado car is also directing Sean and has dramatically improved his defensive decision making as a result.
I’m with you guys that it’s a worry facing the hammer and farnwroth who can quickly pack on points if you are defensively slack or go to sleep.
I could be wrong here, but it’s raining where I am in Sydney.. this should lessen the Dolphin’s ball spreading execution ability.
I like our up the middle off loads as the game goes on here. Second phase play like we’ve seen up the middle later on in the game.
I see the wet here making it more likely dolphins defenders to hold on and stop our offloads later in the game, where we (even vs sharks) used second phase play to generate opportunities up the middle.
What we need to worry about is stopping the dophins fast start. A fast moving defensive line like 60’s mentioned, pressure them into ball handling errors with the wet ball.
The last thing parra wants is farnwroth & co getting a confidence boost from a few early east tries…
Just put out. Lorenzo is the 6 for Flegg whilst 10 is going to be Isaac Jim and 19 is Elijah-Shane Tapau.
Can’t see Lincoln Fletcher playing Flegg any time soon as he’s the fullback for Seven Hills Sports in the schoolboy competition. Not sure on the other 18 year olds, would have to imagine Ryda is playing for Westfields
Johanssen, Fletcher and Petrus are the only 3 in SG Ball that are playing school footy.
Ryda and Lincoln both played Matts in 2024 so are Ball eligible again in 2026.
