Newtown has now moved into fourth place on the competition table following losses by the New Zealand Warriors and St George-Illawarra.

The Newtown RLFC is well represented in the NSWRL Intrust Super Premiership NSW Round 17 Team of the Week: https://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2018/07/09/isp-team-of-the-week–rd-17/

Here’s the NSWRL’s match report of the game:

And here are the match statistics (compiled by the NSWRL) of the Newtown-Knights ISP NSW fixture:  https://www.nswrl.com.au/siteassets/competitions/intrust-super-premiership-nsw/2018/stats-reports/rd17-jetsknights.pdf

The penalties favoured Newtown 15-6 overall, with the count in Newtown’s favour by 10-2 in the first half, and by 5-4 in the second half. There was an extended period in the game where Newtown received an unbroken run of 12 penalties to nil. Knights coach Rory Kostjasyn, who played for Newtown between 2006 and 2008, was moved to remark slightly ruefully after the game that he didn’t recall ever getting a run of penalties like that in the days when he played for the Jets!

The Newtown Jets might have been off their game on Saturday, but they still retained the Tom Raudonikis Cup for 2025 by virtue of their better points for and against over the two games played against Western Suburbs this season.
