Tonight’s Retro Rugby League match sees the Newtown Jets take on the St George Dragons at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

With the return of NRL live matches on Saturday afternoon, we have gone full-on “Amco Cup retro-style” and will now show you games on Wednesday nights at 8.00pm. Our intrepid social media team will “live tweet” the game as if they had entered a time machine and want you to be part of the action.
This Wednesday, 10th June they’re travelling to the hallowed turf of the Sydney Cricket Ground to bring you a NSWRL First Grade Match of the Day between Newtown and St George that was actually played on Saturday, 11th May 1974.
Newtown had the unenviable record of only having beaten the Dragons three times in their last thirty-six encounters dating back to 1957. Two of these wins were in 1973 when the Jets won the coveted NSWRL Club Championship.
These wins included the famous 1-0 victory at the SCG almost a year to the day prior to this 1974 encounter.
Newtown had started the 1974 season with five wins from their first six games and went into this Match of the Day full of confidence.

Make sure you tune in tonight at 8.00pm, Wednesday, 10th June to JETS TV:  www.newtownjets.com or  www.facebook.com/newtownrlfc  and follow us on  www.twitter.com/newtownrlfc to see what happens.

Please keep spreading the word for our Keep The Jets Flying Campaign.
The willingness and generosity of our members, supporters and friends to join this critically-needed fund-raising campaign has been awe-inspiring.
We recognize not everyone can afford to help financially during these extremely challenging times but if you can, there is always room to join this mighty crusade to keep the Jets alive in rugby league football.
For an outlay of $100.00 you will be given access to Jets memorabilia that will last a lifetime. It will enable you to relive time and again one of the greatest year’s in our club’s history – 2019. While we have no live games to watch this year, you can relive the majestic glories of last season when you JOIN HERE .
The support from our members and friends will help ensure we return in 2021 to defend our 2019 Canterbury Cup NSW premiership and our NRL State Championship title.
Massive thanks to all our loyal members and sponsors that have stuck with us for 2020, regardless of the season being cancelled to help the club through this tumultuous time. You are the spirit of 8972 personified.

Another way you can Keep The Jets Flying is by donating to the innovative Laps With Traddy fundraising initiative.
This fundraiser has been set up by a group of members and supporters and features that lovable scoundrel John Trad doing laps of Henson Park on his trusty penny-farthing bicycle every Saturday.
Check out https://www.facebook.com/Laps-with-Trady-100545721662756/ for all the details.
It was great to see popular front-rower Wes Lolo at Henson Park last Saturday lending John Trad some support in his big-hearted fundraising campaign.

Here are the players from last Saturday’s victorious Cronulla Sharks team who gained considerable developmental experience with the Newtown Jets prior to winning NRL selection with the Sharks. (The seasons that they played with Newtown are in brackets after their name.)
