And then there were two … the Newtown Jets and Canterbury Bulldogs get set for Sunday’s Intrust Super Premiership grand final at Leichhardt

Newtown and Canterbury-Bankstown will clash in a senior-level rugby league grand final for the first time, when they meet in Sunday’s ISP NSW grand final at Leichhardt Oval. The Jets and Bulldogs last met in a rugby league final when Newtown defeated Canterbury 34-6 in a NSW Cup preliminary final at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday, 23rd September 2012. The winner of this Sunday’s ISP NSW title goes on to play the Queensland Intrust Super Premiership winners on NRL Grand Final day at ANZ Stadium on Sunday, 30th September.

The Jets defeated the Bulldogs on both occasions in the 2018 ISP NSW competition rounds. Newtown won 22-20 at Belmore Sports Ground on 21st April, and then beat Canterbury 20-6 at Henson Park on 2nd June.
