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 Newtown-Cronulla or any permutation thereof (Fanny Batter WILL be surprised at that). Plus, third on the table! When was the last time we were that high this far into the season? Roll on the finals!
3. A mention of McGoldrick as a defector from kick'n'clap. True, they'll figure that's why he made the catch ("Rah-rahs have better hands, you know, old bean - pass the port, Jeeves...") but maybe it gets across the message that you're better off playing our game at ANY level than the second-highest echelon of that soft-cock excuse for a contact sport.
4. Mention of Royal and Ancient Henson Park. The Jewel in the Crown of RL needs to be put into the public eye at every opportunity. Once you've seen a Jets home game at Henson you'll never want to go back to those soulless concrete holes other clubs play at.
All in all, a good little piece. It's not signed (I'm reading it on the web), but I'd happily buy a Tsingtao or three for whoever wrote it should they get up here.

JETS PROPELLED: Newtown's joint venture with Cronulla is paying dividends for both clubs, with the Jets equal third on the premier league table heading into tonight's match against North Sydney at North Sydney Oval.
Former NSW Waratah Ryan McGoldrick's last-minute interception stopped a try by Balmain Ryde as the Jets snatched a 36-34 win at Henson Park on Saturday.
