The Tip Sheet - 2021 Ep. 56: Off-Season Happenings & The Canley Vale Kookas

The Tip Sheet checks in during the off-season to see what has been doing for the Parramatta Eels. As it turns out, there is plenty to discuss so Forty20 and Sixties get right to it as they go over the wild spread of recruitment and retention news featuring head coach Brad Arthur, Mitch Rein and Will Smith and then dive into Reagan Campbell-Gillard's bombshell announcement. Michael Jennings has finally broken his silence after accepting a 3-year suspension from Sports Integrity Australia but he still maintains his innocence. The boys discuss what that means and where his legacy with the game and the Eels sits. Finally the episode rounds out with a great big whack of junior footy discussion. Sixties and Forty20 look at the significant announcement about the temporary amalgamation of the Parramatta and Canterbury districts in the post-COVID era. The show finishes with a terrific chat with the wonderful Natalie Fa'Auiga E'e of the Canley Vale Kookas. Natalie, the club secretary, proudly walks the boys through the history of the plucky club and explores how family is truly at the heart of everything they do.
