Episode Synopsis

A massive win over the Melbourne Storm deserves a proportionately sized podcast and TCT delivers with Bernie Gurr and Joey Grima dissecting all of the action from a watershed Round 2.

The show kicks off with Bernie joining Sixties and Forty20 to discuss the 16-12 victory over the Storm. The trio discuss how the Eels won the day and how in a way everything came full circle from the finals last year. Gurr discusses the overall form of Parramatta over the first two rounds and then the state of the game following the newly introduced rule changes.

Forty20 and Sixties then dig into a review of the Round 2 triumph on their own as they avail a long list of heroes. With an exhaustive list of positives to check off, the duo work through all of it before tackling the ugly Felise Kaufusi incident. Both of TCT's talking heads tee off on the abhorrent action that lead to Ryan Matterson suffering a concussion.

Next up is the return of Joey Grima and even with the junior representatives getting washed out on the weekend there is plenty to talk about. Joey gives updates about the rescheduling of the Round 7 games and then previews the three games at New Era Stadium on Saturday. Sixties touches base with Joey on the Jersey Flegg before the segment finishes with a callback to Grima's quality preview of the NRL action last week.

Previews close out the episode as a supercharged Saturday is blasted through. Six games are quickly rattled off the docket with the NRL preview headlined by the retention of Maika Sivo for a further two years!
