Yesterday’s Rugby League Week (Thursday, 3^rd August) has a great Mario Facchini photo of Fa’amanu Brown, Travis Robinson and Jason Schirnack on page 40.

For all of you Newtown Jets supporters who are members of the Petersham RSL Club (and we hope that is a great many of you), the August issue of their excellent club magazine, At Ease, has a Newtown Jets article on page 9.

There were three former Newtown Jets players – David Fifita, Tinirau Arona and Jacob Miller – in the Wakefield Trinity team that played Warrington in the English Rugby League Challenge Cup semi-final against Warrington at Leigh last weekend. Unfortunately for our boys the Warrington Wolves won and put Wakefield out of the Cup. It would have been a memorable experience seeing big David Fifita stepping out on the famous Wembley Stadium turf!
