The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 26: 2 Injuries, 1 Breach Notice & A Derby

Tuesday means it is time to talk team lists, news and the wider NRL as Sixties and Forty20 get set for another action packed podcast. The Tip Sheet reviews a mammoth weekend for the Eels where they clocked 6 wins and just 1 loss. Victory came at a price though with J'maine Hopgood rubbed out for the season while Jordan Samrani is expected to miss at least 6 weeks with a meniscus injury. How does Jason Ryles cover for their losses in the short term and can the Eels make any moves to bolster their back line externally? The Western Sydney derby is on as the Eels and Panthers clash in Round 4. The show runs through Team List Tuesday and how Parramatta and Penrith shape up ahead of a cracking Saturday evening tussle. The Brisbane Broncos are experiencing one hell of a premiership hangover as Ben Te'o walks away from the club. It comes on the back of a prolonged feud between the Broncos and Gordon Tallis and the loss of Payne Haas. What exactly is happening North of the border? Round 3 saw some interesting results and the boys offer their thoughts on the lay of the land as teams start to get separated on the ladder.
