[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Whatever happened to The Newtown Jets.[/FONT]
The Newtown Jets are still with us, still playing and training at Henson Park (Marrickville, in Sydney), and still literally, kicking goals.
You may recall that Newtown won the NRL grand final in 1981, and by 1982, broke, done and dusted. Since 1982, The Jets (originally called the 'Bluebags') have been playing in the Metro cup, and Jim Beam Cup, and the New South Wales Premiere Leauge, ever since. In 2005, the Jets have semi-merged with the Cronulla Sharks, which is proving to be very successful indeed.
The Jets have a great range of merchandise available, and slowly but surely the Jets are becoming a huge part of the Newtown community again. In fact, 8972 locals come out in support of the team ever home-game (long story).
And even better, they sell KB at Henson Park.
