The Tip Sheet - 2023 Ep 56: RLPA Latest, Eels & Warriors Set For Top 8 Tussle

The Tip Sheet surges out of the bye with a massive preview of the Jersey Flegg, NSW Cup and NRL action on Saturday. Sixties and Forty20 are ready to rip into the previews but first they cover the major developing story in the NRL as the RLPA begins selective media strike action. The boys take a long look at the situation and where it could take the game with the NRL and the RLPA continue their stand off. The other major happening this week is in the NRLW where the Parramatta Eels host the St George Illawarra Dragons in a preseason trial. In their first ever hit out at their new home at Eric Tweedale Stadium, a new look Parra roster will be looking to build combinations ahead of the season launch in a couple of weeks. Saturday sees a trio of games for the Blue & Gold and it starts with the Jersey Flegg as they host the Rabbitohs at Ringrose Park. They are without three of their finest with Ethan Sanders, Charlie Guymer and Sam Tuivati playing for NSW Under 19s. In desperate need of a win, the boys look at how the Flegg can get it done. The NSW Cup are another squad down bad for a win and they enter this week fresh off a bye. Their opponents in the New Zealand Warriors are inside the Top 4 and will be a tough ask to knock over. Finally we arrive at the NRL with the Eels chasing a career high 6th straight win for Brad Arthur. With no Mitchell Moses, no Reagan Campbell-Gillard and no Clinton Gutherson they are down some serious strike power. Can the likes of Daejarn Asi, Sean Russell and Ofahiki Ogden stand tall?
