The preseason hurtles towards us with the first action arriving with the turn to Summer in less than a week. The Tip Sheet rumbles on in the wake of it all as Sixties and Forty20 gas bag on about the latest from Parradise and the NRL. Speaking of, the Eels have launched a new institute focused on aligning the club with an educational pathway that runs parallel to the code. What does it all mean for the club and the community? Sixties brings the latest mail from recruitment and retention while Junior Paulo terrorised Tonga on the weekend.
PVL has hinted at ambitious global plans for the code – how far does he plan to spread rugby league? The prelude to a potential market frenzy took place today with South Sydney, Manly and the Wests Tigers all involved in a complicated multi-player transaction. Finally, the boys review the weekend representative action including Australia’s victory over the Poms.

Pezet is a great signing. Jnr Paulo is closing in on being an all time eels middle forward I love the bloke.
Eels building momentum for 26 already and the haters need to look back at Jason Ryles 2025 roster plans and just “trust the plan” …
We’ve all seen how his roster decisions generally work out and Jason knows what’s best more than any of us, full faith in our coaches recruitment decisions
The eels are in a lot better position than we were coming into 2025 – Pezet is a nice addition & De Belin will work nicely in our system too!
How does Mark Oneill still have a job with us? He is a tigers man and has demonstrated no ability in the area he works. How could he not secure Pezet for longer deal if he was any good? Yes Ryles has some connections and doing well to build a good roster (thank goodness).
Seriously, there has to be better options in recruitment and retention than Oneill.
Eels need to just pay matto out a certain percentage of his remaining 600k and cut him. He’s a net negative and has been so for a while – looks like he is more interested in posting shirtless Instagram photos and off field promo these days
