The Tip Sheet - 2022 Ep 58: Eels Miss Out On Taupau & Klemmer, More MRC Madness

In a rare condensed episode, Sixties, Forty20 and Spiro blast through all the big headlines in the week that was for the NRL. Starting with a couple of cruel near misses for the Eels in the player transfer market, the boys look at what could have been for Parramatta if either Marty Taupau or David Klemmer had been able to join the club immediately. The conversation on Klemmer turns to the bizarre situation he now finds himself in Newcastle with the big middle forward stood down over an on-field incident with a trainer. Yep, you read that right - an on-field incident! The Tigers are at loggerheads with the NRL over the Cowboys drama but they are now also butting heads with the NSW Government after funding was withdrawn for Leichardt Oval. Spiro relates his most recent experience at the venue and how it might be time for the club to focus their own resources elsewhere. The show caps off with a check in on the lottery that is the Match Review Committee as Nelson Asofa-Solomona dodges a suspension for the umpteenth time. The trio are in unanimous agreement that the MRC got it badly wrong. Last stop is the upcoming at Manly and a rumour surrounding Clinton Gutherson playing in the halves this week but Sixties is quick to set the record straight.
