The Tip Sheet - 2023 Ep 24: Hairy Situations & Origin Selection Debate

Just as the Parramatta Eels look set to get back on track they are tasked with a trip to Darwin on a 5-day turnaround where they will take on the top seeded Brisbane Broncos. The Tip Sheet talks about the trip to the Top End in detail as Sixties, Forty20 and Clint prepare for the massive clash against the Broncos. It is another massive week for the Junior Representatives as the Harold Matthews and SG Ball battle for places in their respective grand finals. On the injury front it looks like Waqa Blake will be out for some time while Sixties raises an important discussion about partnership between the Eels and the NT. Sin bins and hair pulls have the NRL water-coolers on fire as discussion rages on. The Tip Sheet wades into the furore with their own takes. Jack Wighton's retirement from representative footy and a mismatched basket of NRL returns, drops and injuries mark a busy Team List Tuesday. Origin is now firmly in sight and mind as selection debates start to grow in intensity. Should NSW move in different directions at five-eighth and centre? Why aren't Mitchell Moses and Will Penisini up for consideration? The last chapter of this week's NRL & News show looks at the golden point chatter and the impressive manner in which the Dragons managed to crash through rock bottom.
