i cant believe souths didnt do this after already being in bed with norths. probably a smart move by the roosters with big numbers of players not linked to any club.
What a shit club , buy a comp and now steal other areas juniors .. and also wanting to build a club in the Cambletown area.
I can't help but agree with this -- The Roosters have done little to no wrong -- but it still leaves a bit of a sour taste. It was announced quite a while ago now that the Roosters were attempting to tap into the Central Coast area which I think is great, but given that they must have known this was at least a possibility, so some consultation with the Jets would not have gone astray.its their prerogative to do as they please with their feeder system
they dont owe Newtown anything and they aren't obliged to continue the assosiation if they think another option is best for their footy club
what's the problem?
article said:The move is a bitter blow for Newtown, who rejected overtures to link with Melbourne in the belief its association with the Roosters would continue. The Storm have subsequently locked in Easts Brisbane as their partner of choice.
Disappointing but will still go down to Jets games and support the club. The affiliation has been a great one over the years & I love going down to Henson park.
It's a shame I'd always held hope that the affiliation could become even strong by uniting the Netwown junior clubs with the Easts ones to make a competition but it seems that dream is long gone now.
Here's hoping they find another club to affiliate themselves with.

The Newtown junior clubs were farmed out back in the 80's. The ones that I know are still around are Earlwood Saints in the St George comp and Camperdown Dragons playing in the Souths Juniors comp. The majority having fallen by the wayside.Disappointing but will still go down to Jets games and support the club.

Why didn't the jets relocate to say south west sydney or the central coast instead of falling out of the premiership alltogether back in the day?
Not sure that can be true, since the Qld teams all have at least two feeder teams, as do the Storm. Might be a NSWRL stance however.The Roosters wanted to continue the relationship with Newtown, however NRL rules stipulate NRL clubs can only have one feeder club. The Roosters had already engaged into a partnership with Wyong juniors as part of an NRL initiative for each NRL club to partner with a country junior area. What forced the Roosters hand was that Cronulla had tried a sneaky bid (not blaming them) to get into a partnership with Wyong to be their NSW Cup feeder club.
This would have led to a situation where the Roosters were tipping in money into Wyong juniors for these players to progress to Cronulla senior players in the NSW Cup. As a result the Roosters quickly entered into the arrangement with Wyong NSW Cup and then when the Roosters asked if we could keep Newtown, the NRL said no (rules are rules so no complaints). Unfortunate for Newtown but the Roosters have imo done what is best for the long term future of its club which it should always be doing.
If it is a NSW stance it has to change. Show some balls NSWRL and actually do something to preserve a bit of your history. I'm sure most league fans feel the same.Not sure that can be true, since the Qld teams all have at least two feeder teams, as do the Storm. Might be a NSWRL stance however.
