The Cumberland Throw

The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 71: Rd 18/Rd 1 Previews

The NRLW kicks off this week and the Parramatta Eels are hosting the Wests Tigers on Sunday at CommBank Stadium. In spite of some unfortunate injuries to their new recruits, the Blue & Gold are still fielding an exciting line-up as Sixties and Forty20 rip into a massive season opener. There are previews across the board with five grades in action on Sunday.

The show smashes through a triple header at Kellyville with the Flegg and Cup taking on the Sea Eagles while the Women’s Premiership tackle the Tigers. The Flegg have made sweeping changes in the backline and have been further bolstered by the returns on Lincoln Fletcher and Jordan Miller. Is that enough to reignite their season?

In the NRL the Eels are reeling from a bitterly disappointing loss to the Rabbitohs and now find themselves with their backs against the wall with Manly closing in. Can Parramatta somehow challenge the red hot Sea Eagles?
