Jets join SG Ball Competition
Tuesday, 21st October 2008
The Newtown Rugby League Football Club will field a team in the NSW Rugby League’s S G Ball competition in 2009, in close association with the Jets’ partnership club the Sydney Roosters. The team will play its home games at Henson Park, will play in Newtown’s royal blue colours and will be administered and staffed by the Newtown RLFC.
Long-serving Newtown Jets Director and major sponsor Terry Rowney says that this a proud occasion for the game’s oldest club which will be celebrating its 101st birthday in early January 2009. Mr. Rowney added: “This decision has been made in full consultation and agreement with our NRL allies the Sydney Roosters. The S G Ball Cup team will provide a crucial link in the Roosters-Jets promotional pathway from the S G Ball (under 18’s) to the Roosters Toyota Cup team (under 20’s), then into Newtown’s flagship open age NSW Cup team, and then into the Roosters’ NRL full-time squad. Newtown’s entry into this competition is entirely in keeping with our club’s well-known philosophy of maximising opportunities for ambitious players to advance themselves in Rugby League football. We know that there will be many challenges in fielding this team but we look forward to seeing the Newtown Jets resume their place in this famous NSWRL junior developmental competition”.
Newtown last fielded a team (under the Newtown Jets RLFC banner) in the S G Ball Cup competition back in 1983. It is anticipated that the Newtown S G Ball Cup team (along with the Sydney Roosters Harold Matthews Shield side) will be able to appear as curtain-raiser matches to the Newtown Jets NSW Cup team at Henson Park on several occasions in 2009.

No doubt they will raid the Campbelltown and surrounding areas for junior talent.

I wonder if this year they will delay the start of the Harrold Matts and SG competitions so they can be run as lead up matches for NSW Cup games?

I would doubt it as I believe they like to get the juniors over so they can play back with their junior clubs.

It hasn't stopped Western Suburbs Juniors playing for Parramatta and the Roosters in the respective junior rep teams over the years. I fail to see how Newtown (The Roosters) will only be concerned with selecting players from their own district when they've only got 3 junior clubs to choose from over in the Easts comp. Don't the Eastern Suburbs Junior District teams compete in the Souths District? The demographics of the inner city doesn't help to support their cause. Hence, Staks is right on the money. You can bet your bottom dollar that the Chooks/Jets will be out in force to raid the talent that exists in the South-West because there is bugger all in the Bondi and Newtown regions.
