The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 42: Rd 8 Preview vs Manly Sea Eagles

Chris Ricketts is back! The Tip Sheet, like the Eels, gets some reinforcements for ANZAC Round as the boys preview a trio of games against the Manly Sea Eagles.

The boys break down Flegg, Cup and NRL match ups against the Eels’ fraternal twin in the Sea Eagles. The returns of Sean Russell and Kelma Tuilagi cause a trickle down impact of playing talent for Parramatta. In the Flegg there is also a significant injection of SG Ball talent as Cameron Bamblett, Ryda Talagi, Chris Petrus and presumably Jackson Koina bolster the side. How big of an influence can they have for the Eels?

Kieran Foran has the Sea Eagles flying on a 3-game winning streak while Jason Ryles snapped the Eels out of a funk with their stunning upset of the Bulldogs in Round 7. So who prevails on Sunday?

    A win against manly and we are really back on track. Tough game but if we play with as much commitment as last week and Moses turns it on we probably win.

    Watching the raiders game and Timoko’s defence frailty is on show. He is no answer for us – he is a liability on defensive and slow. Basically another penisini issue. I think xerri is a better option. Tago also has defensive woes.

      Xerri would be the pick of that bunch, he’s the only one I’d pay overs for. We won’t be the only club chasing him.

    Great show as always gents, thank you. Happy to see Chris again.
    Go Parra! Come on, let’s make it two in a row.
