The Tip Sheet - 2023 Ep 55: Origin 3 Madness Hits Eels, Big Names Hit The Market

Origin 3 selections have left the Eels reeling after Clinton Gutherson and Reagan Campbell-Gillard were called upon alongside Mitchell Moses to save a series sweep in Sydney. The Tip Sheet jumps into the impact the dead rubber suddenly has on the Blue & Gold as they prepare to take on the high flying New Zealand Warriors. Sixties, Forty20 and Clint have a robust discussion about the wildly inconsistent selection policies of the Blues including the shocking revelation that Will Penisini was never a consideration in 2023. The team list - sans Gutherson, Moses and Reagan Campbell-Gillard - is in and there is a surprise selection on the wing. Isaac Lumelume has beat out Waqa Blake and Haze Dunster while Sean Russell takes over at fullback. Can this team beat the Warriors? The show takes a quick look at the match up on Saturday with news breaking that Shaun Johnson could be out for the opposition. The NRLW trial against the Dragons, more Origin talk and the terrible, horrible, no Good, very bad weekend for the Tigers and Bulldogs are talking points. Last up is chatter about a trio of sudden free agents in Zac Lomax, David Fifita and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui.
