The Tip Sheet – 2026 Ep 80: The Jungle Book (2026)

It is up for debate whether Rudyard Kipling would approve but with the Eels, Bears and Tigers all converging this week we have something of the rugby league equivalent of The Jungle Book playing out in real time. The Tip Sheet looks at the latest happenings from Parradise and the NRL as the Perth Bears table an eye-watering offer to Junior Paulo. Parramatta go big cat hunting for the second week running as they look to bring down the drama-laden Wests Tigers in the NRL. It is Magic Round in the NRLW as our girls look to try and build on a heart breaking loss to the Warriors in what was a greatly improved team performance. The boys break down all of the big news from TLT across these grades and all the way down to the Jersey Flegg. The Tigers have dominated the news cycle in the last week following the sudden feud between coach Benji Marshall and top player Adam Doueihi. What is it all about and where has it left the joint venture? Newcastle are reeling from a devastating loss that cost them both Dylan Brown and Dylan Lucas for the season. Is it time to put the red line through them?
