The Jets head into an important match with the Canterbury Bulldogs on Hipsters Day 2018

It’s the annual Salute the Hipsters Day this Saturday, and once again anyone with a beard (or a clip-on version) will be given free entry to Henson Park.

Newtown is coming off a thrilling victory last Saturday against Western Suburbs but the struggle to stay in the top eight is nothing short of remorseless. Fourth-placed Canterbury is only one competition point ahead of Newtown, while the sixth-placed Jets are only one point ahead of Wentworthville who are outside of the top eight. It’s a tightly-packed field on the Intrust Super Premiership competition table, and it only makes this Saturday’s Jets-Bulldogs local derby all the more important.

The Newtown Jets are looking to continue their streak as the Rugby League Hipster Champions.

We’re confident that Hipsters from all over inner-western Sydney will flock into Henson Park on Saturday to help Newtown defend its title.

Some ex-players news: Former Jets Mark Kheirallah and Jonathon Ford were both in superb form playing for Toulouse Olympique against the London Broncos in last weekend’s 2018 Summer Bash played at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool. A full round of UK Betfred Rugby League Championship fixtures was played in the iconic Lancashire seaside city. Toulouse beat the Londoners 40-28 and both “Killer” Kheirallah and Jono Ford were in rare form.
