The Tip Sheet - 2022 Ep 77: The Morning After, Eels (Quite Literally) Drop The Ball Against Penrith

Sixties and Forty20 convene the morning after Parramatta's 27-8 loss to the Penrith Panthers in Week 1 of the finals. The non-quite instant reaction edition of The Tip Sheet focuses on where the Eels got it wrong and the opportunities they missed. The Blue & Gold were in it right up until the final quarter of play but a slew of errors - including a horror night from Waqa Blake - hamstrung their chances against the reigning premiers. Throw in a quiet night from three-quarters of your playmaking corp and a scintillating performance from Nathan Cleary and you arrive at the end result. Still, the boys debrief the entirety of the game as well as what lies ahead for the Eels in Week 2 of the finals. A sudden death fixture against either the Storm or Raiders at CommBank Stadium is on the horizon and both Sixies and Forty20 still have plenty of confidence in the team.
