    Believe it or not, 3 cheers for the SMH

    NOW they do. Remember just a few years ago when it appeared that they had decided our name was "the defunct Newtown Jets". I can only imagine that something has changed. I suspect a few Herald journos have come down to see a home game from the hill and finally "get it". A big help was...

    Go the Girls in Blue! Article on the Jetettes from the SMH

    Great to see this in print. http://www.smh.com.au/news/League/Jetettes-take-the-hard-knocks-for-sake-of-league-glory/2005/04/29/1114635755071.html

    Saturday Arvo Footy at Henson

    I don't remember last year (I was stuck over here then as well), but I remember the two previous visits. Great to turn around the NSO hoodoo. Anyone go and have a drink with the Bears types after at the Rag & Famish? I hope they were gracious in defeat (we sure tried to be in 2002 &amp...

    NORTH SYDNEY OVAL - BEARS V NEWTOWN - FRIDAY NIGHT 29 April

    And the Frank Hyde Cup goes to... The Jets!!! Next stop the Ryan/Pringle, then the premiership. Go the Royal Blues!

    Believe it or not, 3 cheers for the SMH

    Yes, it is Serious. Try no Jets games for starters. No Resch's. The closest thing to live footy is the Shanghai RU club, where I get to play touch. Highlight of the year was playing with a bunch of old leaguies in the touch tournament and creaming all the 20 years younger contact Rugby types...

    Believe it or not, 3 cheers for the SMH

    Despite their brainless Rugby Yawnion bias, this item from today's Sin Bin section has a few things going for it: 1. No mention of "defunct". Looks like they might have finally absobed that. It only took us 14 years to get it through their thick skulls. 2. We're not called...

    Slowly but surely, the Mermaids are coming.

    And her Dad must be Bazza McKenzie - look at that jaw!

    Newtown Junior Jets

    That fracas with the Wombats - that was a Junior Jets player that got attacked, right? If it is, I know that kid (he's the grandson of Charlie Meader - the man our Henson Park Centennial gates are named for). He's now playing junior rep footy for St. George, so I've heard.

    will jets play any games at toyota park this year?

    "Errors", Fanny? This is pretty rich coming from someone who's not smart enough to spell the extremely complicated English word "two"?

    Friday Night

    Very gracious of you to congratulate us, Yappy. It's funny how the supporters of us "orphan" clubs (Newtown, Wests, Balmain, Norths) seem to have a bit more style in both defeat and victory. Would it be too rude to ask the score? I doubt it'll be in the Shanghai Daily this morning. Did...

    NORTH SYDNEY AGM LAST WEEK

    So, to summarise: 1. Various Bears football club board members believe they should be back in the NRL. 2. Why? Because their expulsion was "unfair". 3. David Gallop is still willing to have them come to his office and talk at him. 4. Various Bears football club board members believe...

    The Jet Base Rag

    Thanks very much for the subscription, Jeffles. Now how are you going on the e-mail steak sandwich thing? I figure if you squash 'em reeeeeaaaaaaaalllllllyyyyy flat and slide it into the diskette slot, it might just be possible. Either that or use the CD-ROM tray (but you'd probably have...

    The Jet Base Rag

    I'd like it more if it was available online. That and a steak sandwich via e-mail would be a great help in replicating Henson game day here in SH

    Friday Night

    You Wang Ba Dan, Jeffles (yep, I'm calling you "a turtle's egg", buddy - a mortal insult over here)! I was only daydreaming about cold Resch's schooners on Saturday night. Sigh. Tsingtao just doesn't cut it. Amusingly enough, the other big brand here is called "Reeb" - and it tastes kinda...

    WHO THE HELL ARE YOU LOT?

    I'd like to second 2 True Blues' comments. Also, I beg to differ re the "Newtown dwellers / Jets supporters aren't the dyed-in-the-wool working class Bluebag types they used to be, blah, blah, blah" thing you've been going on about. Here's my background/qualification to make comment...

    Ben Cook

    Fullback or wing. Very gutsy player who shone in some of our less wonderful line-ups in past years. He can be quite inspirational - when the rest of the team's going backwards, Cookie's likely to return a kick flat out with absolutely NO regard for his own safety. Possibly not the most...

    Bears Fans

    And at least we (Jets & Bears) started the sport in this country, something Manly didn't do. Parasites don't create anything, they just arrive after all the hard yakka's been done and feed off what somebody else has produced. Pretty much the Arko way, really.
