Saturday, 7th March at Henson Park is to be designated as BLUEBAGS DAY in tribute to the passing in recent months of famed Newtown RLFC identities Brian “Chicka” Moore, Frank Farrington and Horrie Kessey. We are encouraging supporters to wear retro Newtown items such as the classic Bluebags jersey (available on our merchandise website), the style of jersey that was worn by the legendary Chicka Moore in his Newtown RLFC playing days between 1962 and 1973.

There will be a minute’s silence prior to the kick-off.

Junior Sharks join the Jets at Henson
After a narrow loss and a draw in games played against the Bulldogs, our NRL partner the Sharks junior rep teams also play at Henson Park this weekend where they will take on the Sydney Roosters.

All Newtown members, supporters and friends are invited to the GOLDEN BARLEY HOTEL after Saturday’s matches at Henson Park. The GOLDEN BARLEY HOTEL is located at 165 Edgeware Road Enmore.

Sami is one of ours too, Tom.
the Barley is a great pub, was my local for about 15 years until I moved back to the burbs. In saying that the last two times I've been to a pub in the last few weeks has been at the Barley.
go figure.
can't make it tomorrow but will venture there a few times this season

all sharks members get free entry to henson park btw - stoked about, henson's a 15 minute walk from my joint.

i almost bought a jets membership this year which came with three sharks home game tickets that i was gonna give to my girlfriend...but was rendered unnecessary.

& Dallas Wells http://www.sharks.com.au/team/profiles/dallas-wells.html

& I'm pretty sure Tim Robinson is not a Cronulla player anymore , signed to Newtown.

I reckon you are right.

I'm also a big fan of the Barley and I think I met you there for the 1st time BBB.

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

Is the game available online at all ??

Be interesting to see how Dallas Wells go

 

[The Popper]

Kurt Dillon is one of ours too.

 

[ghoti]

Jets 6-4 after ten, Roqica looking strong

 

[Snoop Shark]

No bird no Val happy days

No bird no Val happy days

Hmmmmm. Interesting stuff there. As an incumbent, I thought Holmes would be guaranteed a spot in round 1 but being under 30 does count against him. Bird would have to bide his time for a decade or so.

 

[shaggs]

Bird and Holmes will both play 20s if they don't play nrl this week and be expected to dominate.

 

[ghoti]

Saulima was a monster with ball in hand. Buuut, miserable ball control.. Will pressure Leutele hard if he can hold onto the pilll

 

[bluefox1968]

So, final score -14-24 L.

Which tells us, Tigers have got a good side, OR the guys in reserve grade belong there ATM...

 

[The Popper]

I didn't know Sharks fans got in for free. I paid.
I thought we were pretty bad. So did others. I was sitting in the stand in the same area as lots of Newtown fans. A small number of them were chanting `Roosters, Roosters' and when I went to another area I heard a bloke say to another bloke `We shoulda stayed with the Roosters'.
Ayshford was probably one of our better players. Roquica was good in spits and spurts but he missed a few tackles too.

 

[shaggs]

Haha Newtown supporters thinking that the jets get to choose who they are linked with. It would be like Wyong saying thanks roosters but we want Melbourne.

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

First round remember

 

[Panda Power 78]

Yep , Sami S was the pick of our guys & Gards tried hard.
It was very hot at game time , you could see both sides were struggling in the 2nd half.
Flanno was there in a Newtown shirt.
Once again I was quite underwhelmed by Todd Murphy , I don't want to deathride the guy but by what he's shown so far , he's doesn't seem like he could handle NRL.

SG Ball & HMs had very good wins.

 

[Panda Power 78]

Kurt Dillon is one of ours too.

He's actually on Newtown's list , there's a few former Sharks who are now on the Jets / Bluebags roster.

I think the reason they were chanted "Roosters" was they played in the HMs & SG Ball.
The reason Newtown broke off their relationship with Easts was they weren't releasing their players back to Newtown.
Newtown's coach has been very outspoken about this & why Gorman & Flanno addressed the Bluebag faithful at the season launch , to assure them it wouldn't happen with Cronulla.
