These days Saulala is a rampaging front-rower for the Wagga Kangaroos RLFC down in Group 9 in southern NSW. Saulala features on the front cover of the updated Newtown Jets club history, Taking It To The Streets – The Second Life of the Newtown RLFC. Author of the book and Jets Director Glen “Bumper” Dwyer was in Wagga last Friday to present Saulala Houma with a copy of the book.

Some heart-warming news from Newtown, Connecticut, USA:

The Newtown High School (from Newtown, Connecticut, USA) won their state’s high school football championship final with a touch-down in the last ten seconds. That sounds familiar! And to top it off, the Newtown High School’s football colours are royal blue!

This was a huge win for the Newtown High School’s local community for important reasons. Their catchment area includes Sandy Hook, the scene of the terrible mass shooting of primary school students in 2012. This state high school championship match was on the anniversary of the shootings, usually a solemn day for their community. This Washington Post story tells you everything special about the win, and the team:
