There are still a harrowing handful of days to navigate but the Parramatta Eels are poised to finally unleash MOMAX on the NRL after nearly 3 months of the competition. The Tip Sheet explores how and what Mitchell Moses and Zac Lomax can do to elevate the team as the Eels hunt their third win of the season. The other TLT bomb comes in the form of the NRL debut for Toni Mataele. Sixties and Forty20 look at Toni’s path to first grade and why he has earned the call up against the Newcastle Knights.
The NRL news becomes a PNG takeover this week as Joey Grima joins the show to bring the latest from Papua New Guinea and how the expansion franchise is warming to the colossal task of joining the NRL. Joey, a key figure in shaping and developing the PNG pathways, shares his candid insights on the critical process he is overseeing while also reflecting on how the junior Eels fared in 2025.

Yea .joey probably going to take a few eels jnrs with him. Who cares about png.
No he wouldn’t do that! But how good is he going with their pathways!
Incredible podcast fellas. Always love when Joey Grima is on, you could hear his smile all the way through the chat. Hope his success continues up in PNG (just not against Parra).
This was obviously recorded before the Flegg team was announced but they play Friday night 6pm, great scheduling from nswrl once again. But the entire bench is made up of SG Ball graduates. Another player to keep an eye on is Will Shears, a 20 year old centre who comes down from Mackay via NTH QLD pathways. Very interested in how he goes in his first Flegg game.
For mine Galvin is a must. I’ve completely done a 180 on my opinion of him. And whilst I am a fan of Talataina and recognise he won player of the SG Ball tournament, at the same age Galvin was one of the better creative halves in the NRL. He reminds me a bit of a young Moses. He’s eyes up and will take a risk but he’s footy mad and he’s willing to learn. Despite his height he’s very slender and can bulk up, with a few more years he’ll bulk up and get much better in defence. Then there’s also the path to first grade they’ve both taken.
Plenty of similarity to Moses Ham, I agree. I’m backing it in to happen. Maybe sooner than later.
Joey was brilliant and the enormity of setting up such pathways cannot be ignored. And yes we recorded this before the Flegg game was known about/announced.
