It isn’t quite the true #UNFILTERED experience since the tables were turned but The Tip Sheet sat down with a true Eels tragic and a genuine stalwart of rugby league media (and more) in Andy Raymond this week.
The boys got the pure Andy Raymond experience in a sprawling chat that delves deep into the annals of our great game. Andy walks Sixties and Forty20 through his long and decorated career as a broadcaster and what has changed through the eras in the media. Where does the legendary 1981-86 dynasty stand in the pantheon of the greatest teams and who are his most iconic Eels?

Super League’s lasting impact and the transformation of social media in present day have shaped and reshaped the code off the field. Whereas as on the field we have seen positions dynamically change in great fluidity while rules have come and gone. Andy offers his savvy insights on rugby league through those different periods and where it has positioned the game in 2026.
Of course, you can’t separate Andy Raymond from his hit podcast Unfiltered and it is the perfect topic to close out the show with. From his very first episode with the Raging Bull, Gordon Tallis himself to his bucket list interviewee – Andy explains exactly what makes Unfiltered such a great product.
One of the most enjoyable podcasts we’ve recorded. Plenty of food for thought from Andy’s insights on the game, broadcasting and media, his passion for the Eels and who should be the next immortals, as well as highlights from his six years of podcasts.
