Newtown Jets news and discussion

[MELROO]

We bought home 2 beer coasters one with the Standard 8972 crowd and the other the Steve Bowden V Mark Broadhurst Biff Newtown 20 Manly 15. We are from Ballina, so its a long way for us, so any game info would be greatly appreciated. He scored last try.

 

[MELROO]

Will you get home semi's or follow NRL games

 

[Jeffles]

It depends on a number of factors.

Most important of these, if our opponent in the semis has their NRL side playing an NRL semi in NSW, it is unlikely. Shame because a stand alone home semi at Henson Park would mean loads more publicity for RL than if it were a mere curtain raiser to the NRL.

E.g. At this stage, Newtown is 2nd and the Cougars are 7th. If Penrith had an NRL semi final in NSW, it is likely that the NRL (or the Panthers) would ask that the PL semi with their club be played as a curtain raiser, despite the fact that they have enough resources to play the match somewhere else and the fact that we deserve some reward for finishing 2nd.

As for the number of contracted oplayers in the Newtown PL team, it was always the agreement that this would be gradually phased in. Next year and as the years go on, there will be more Newtown contracted players.

Ballina. Thats gods country mate. I have a mate that lives at Byron, and I go up to Ballina atleast once a year. Love having a surf at the breakwall.

 

[MELROO]

Thanks 2TB, it is gods country, thats one thing my boys miss is the surf up here, if anyong going to the game today could you please give us a report would be greatly appreciated. I can't beleive DOyle got suspended for last weeks fight.

 

[2 True Blues]

Did he really. I hadn't heard. Take it that Cronulla also had a player suspended. Shart, could have used him though.

I wont be able to make it to the game, but hopefully BB43 will post a match report. He said on the Jets forum that he would post one on Sunday as was going out for a few cold ones after the game today. I will have the score texted to me though on my mobile.

 

[2 True Blues]

[2 True Blues]

Jets 38 to 12 is a good result for the for and against as well.....

The only team to have lost only 4 games all season......

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

you guys have no chance

 

[2 True Blues]

Without SOWARD I am leaning your way, though for passion value you will hopefully leave Henson Park KICKED yet again. Like Parra has for the past two seasons in a row !!! ( yet suppose you guys are due for a win there sooner than later ) !!!!! And if anyone is going to take the undefeated tital at Home ALL season tital OFF us this will be the week. With the depleted jets side that is forced to come up against you's on Saturday !!!!!

we were beateb fair and square last year..but severely ripped off the year before ;-)

btw, can you post the Jets side when it becomes available please?

 

[newtownbluebags]

you guys have no chance

I heard that! :badgrin: :sch:

 

[2 True Blues]

I like being the underdog. Bring it on...!!!!

 

[2 True Blues]

Parra beat us 20 to 6. It was 14 to 6 at halftime with only a 6 point score in the second half.

We need some players back from the Roosters 1st grade lineup, who have contributed so much this season, as the side that went down was very depleted by usual standards, and not a fair indication of the team that has played consistantly well ALL season.

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

What happened to the final try and field goal to make it 20 - 11?

 

[Bluebag]

That would have ironic cumberland if that happened but we struggled all day and had our chances but Parra were too good on the day. Our first loss at home this year and second in two years. But thats life.

Good luck to you.
