Most Newtown Jets supporters would have seen the black and white version of this photo of the Newtown RLFC NSWRL first grade premiership-winning team of 1943, captained by the mighty Frank “Bumper” Farrell and coached by Arthur Folwell. This colourised version has been kindly supplied by a Newtown Jets supporter named Coll who has done a number of other interesting colourisations as well.

NSWRL Major Competitions Update

The NSW Rugby League has advised that the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup has been suspended for a further two weeks, up until and inclusive of the weekend of the 31st July/1st August at least.

This means that Newtown’s projected home game against Western Suburbs on the 24th July has been suspended.

The Newtown Jets have a bye on the weekend of the 31st July/1st August.


The Newtown RLFC has tackled the COVID-19 outbreak by sharing their storied history throughout a number of small towns in regional NSW and Queensland.

You can read all about this act of generosity in this heart-warming, must-read article by Margie McDonald, courtesy of the NSWRL website:

Former Newtown Jets ace halfback Jamie Soward discusses the best five tries scored in the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup competition so far this year.

As it happens, two of the nominated tries were scored by a certain inner-western NSWRL 1908 foundation club:

The 2021 English Rugby League Challenge Cup Final was played early this morning Australia time between St Helens and Castleford, in what was a genuine War of the Roses Lancashire v Yorkshire showdown.

There were four former Newtown Jets players named in the Castleford Tigers squad: backrower Grant Millington, centre Cheyse Blair, front-rower Jesse Sene-Lefao and winger Sosaia Feki.

Grant Millington is in his tenth season at Castleford and is regarded as one of the best ball-playing forwards in the English Super League competition.

Here’s an article about the Castleford RLFC:

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.
