The football may be off but you can still follow the Jets as a community! This week, our intrepid social media team is going to “live tweet” the Newtown versus Manly-Warringah elimination semi-final played at the SCG on Sunday, 13th September 1981 and we want you to be a part of it!

You can log in from wherever you are at 3.00pm AEDT, Saturday, 28th March and watch the following video as if you were watching the game:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=yRZV5EhrvO0

Our social media “mavens” will tweet the game as if they had entered a time machine and gone back to 1981.

We want you to follow our social media team on Twitter and join in!

This breathtaking game is bound to bring back so many great rugby league memories.
