Episode Synopsis

It is a brave new world for Sixties and Forty20 as they bring you this episode of The Tip Sheet on location at the home of the Eels - right from the green on Eels' Lane! Just a precautionary word, brave new worlds come with plenty of gremlins in the system, so please excuse us for some issues with reverb this week.

This week features a packed ticket as the boys open up the show with a lengthy chat to Joey Grima as the club insider breaks down the triple homestand against the Steelers on the weekend. With a win in the Matts, a loss in the Tarsha Gale and a draw in the SG Ball there is plenty to discuss as Joey brings his footy acumen and nous to the table.

The fellas blitz through the results from the weekend before they are joined by another special guest in Mary Konstantopoulos. The founder of Ladies Who League and a dyed-in-the-wool Parra supporter drops by to chat with the boys. They talk about the rise and rise of LWL and just how reaching Mary's impact has been across women's sport. Mary's interest in barracking for the underdog players is revealed and the trio discuss where that all stemmed from before they finish the discussion by assessing Parra's prospects in 2021.

The show closes with various pieces of housekeeping, from a rumoured Mitchell Moses extension to an actual upgrade and extension to young centre Will Penisini. The Leagues Club elections are still running so be sure to vote before 5PM on March 10th and lastly - check out the new documentary by Adam Hawse and the NRL that just dropped on the Eels' 1986 triumph!
