With a triple of header of footy at Leichardt tomorrow and the threat of some sunshine, Sixties and Forty20 are keen to rip into the previews this week.
There is a momentary pit-stop to discuss the sudden woes of the Melbourne Storm after they dropped consecutive ugly losses but the focus quickly switches back to the Eels in the Jersey Flegg. Corey Fenning will lead a team looking to build on a gutsy win last week as the Parramatta backline shapes up nicely.
In the NSW Cup, Jordan Rankin spearheads a push towards the Top 4 as they tackle the Magpies this week. Western Suburbs are placed second to last in reserve grade and despite some notable names in their roster, the Eels will be wanting to harness the energy from an important win over the Rabbitohs last week.
Finally and most importantly the boys breakdown the NRL clash against the Wests Tigers. Consistency, or a lack thereof, has haunted the Eels over the last two months. If they are to mount a serious push for a Top 4 finish in 2022 then realistically it starts this weekend with a strong win over the Tigers. Given that the Blue & Gold dropped their first meeting to the joint venture back on Easter Monday they can ill afford to take them lightly but the Parramatta play-makers need to take ownership on Saturday night.
