The Tip Sheet – 2025 Ep 82: Eels vs Storm & NRLW Magic Round Previews

With the NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg Cup back from global byes, the Preview Podcast is also back in full stride as Sixties and Forty20 are joined by Chris Ricketts to analyse the upcoming round from top to bottom. Coverage starts with the Flegg where the Eels welcome back Australian Schoolboy representative Cameron Bamblett and have a new face debuting in Lorima Rokosuka. The Eels are looking to keep touch with the Top 4 in the stretch to the finals and take on the Rabbitohs at Kellyville. The NSW Cup also face South Sydney and have a debutante of their own as Lorenzo Talataina continues his exciting progression in 2025 while the Eels field their strongest line-up in some time as Bailey Simonsson, Kelma Tuilagi and Jordan Samrani add some serious oomph to the squad. Can the HNWP make it three games on the trot? They have a derby match with the Panthers on Sunday and will be looking to catapult themselves up the ladder with a third straight victory. A bounceback win is the goal for the NRLW in Round 5 though and they get star forward Kennedy Cherrington back on board as they look to slay the Dragons in Magic Round. Jason Ryles has named an unchanged team in Round 22 as the Eels face the Storm head on. It will be a daunting task as Melbourne welcome back Ryan Papenhuyzen and Cameron Munster but the Southern outfit have lost Jahrome Hughes.
