The Newtown Jets and the De La Salle JRLFC announce a rugby league partnership - Newtown Jets

The Newtown RLFC is pleased to announce the formation of a footballing partnership with the De La Salle Junior Rugby League Football Club. The De La Salle JRLFC was established in 1962 and is the biggest club in the Cronulla-Sutherland Junior Rugby League, with more than 800 registered players...

With De-La-Salle moving into the Illawarra competition and now forming a partnership with Newtown, who are the Sharks feeder club, are we seeing a move by the mighty Sharks to take over the whole region. They’ve consumed the St George 12s and overs teams into the Sharks comp and are clearly the biggest Club South of Sydney in terms of playing numbers and owning their own ground.
The new admin in Sharksville clearly has a vision for expanding the club’s base. With St George constantly in turmoil, maybe the Sharkies have an opportunity to take the whole area?

What the same as Manly running a NSW Cup team out of Blacktown? Esau’s that’s working well for them.

Because.

It’s different in that sharks have basically taken over the St George competition, have a club moved into the Illawarra senior comp and have a foothold in Sydney with Newtown. I’d love to see them shaft the Saints and take the whole area.

I think De La Soul are the must underated hip hop band of the 90s.

Cronulla Caringbah are in the MOJO Homes Illawarra Cup as well.
Those two teams were too strong for the local A Grade, hence the move to a stronger comp.
They still have teams in the CS A Grade.

It's a real power play by De La to set themselves as the club to play for to get a look in to Newtown and thus Cronulla.

I agree. They are a bloody big club. I’m half serious about the takeover. St George are basically impotent these days.

I can’t argue with any of that…..unfortunately.

Surely there's strong interest for another Sydney based team in the NRL. Particularly on these forums. Newtown would be a great 18th team and add tremendous value to future TV deal negotiations.

Are the Sharks moving in on the Illawarra?

I think.its just urban sprawl. With cronulla restricted to the east by the sea, the only room to grow is north south or west. Maybe the Sharks are expanding out of the shire and taking over greater sydney.

When the Sharks are sent to Perth, the Leagues club and junior league they leave behind will be useful assets for the Steelers to add to their portfolio after they've subsumed the Dragons.

Up, Up, Illawarra!

Mighty Steelers gone I’m afraid. Always liked them.

Steelers NSW women's premiership team this year and several junior reps.

Can remember a Sharks v Steelers Winfield Cup game that finished 2-2. Either 1990 or 1991. The media will have it that low-scoring games are dull. Not necessarily. That one definitely wasn`t.

1992 final series - Saints beat Newcastle 3-2 and Saints backed up the following week to beat Steelers 4-0. I remember f**k all from 1992, except being at those 2 games.

Sharks supporters are so funny. The grab the smallest things to take pride in.
