Newtown Jets ex-players in the Country Rugby League news:

Tuki Jackson is the new captain-coach of the strong Albury Thunder club in Group 9 in southern NSW.

The Newtown RLFC was well represented at the NSW Rugby League’s Semi-Pro Day, held at the Australian College of Physical Education at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush on Saturday, 19th November 2016.

There was an interesting range of well-qualified guest speakers covering topics relevant to young semi-professional Rugby League footballers.

The former North Sydney player and now NSWRL Welfare and Education Officer Greg Nichols coordinated the day.

The aim of the day was primarily to assist Intrust Super Premiership NSW players deal with the realities of working full-time; the demands of a tough individual and team training regimen; along with their everyday responsibilities of living in a fast-paced, complex global city such as Sydney.

The Newtown Jets are quite rightly regarded as being a family and community-oriented club and Henson Park is our home. Catch a glimpse of a day (and night in this instance) at home courtesy of our friends at Sydney Film Studios here:
