Sharks to Resuscitate Newtown
Cronulla is set to win the battle to save the Newtown Jets.
The future of the Jets was placed in grave doubt last week when the Roosters decided to dump the club as its NSW Cup feeder team for 2015.
The Roosters are adopting the Central Coast as their feeder region and there were fears the Jets would die when the Roosters withdrew valuable funding.
But the Bulldogs and Sharks have both expressed interest in adopting the Jets.
I initially thought Canterbury - with more money at their disposal - would win the battle.
But the Bulldogs wanted to put major demands on Newtown - including taking games away from their traditional home at Henson Park and playing at ANZ Stadium in curtain raisers to NRL games. That didn't sit well with the Jets and they are now leaning towards Cronulla for 2015.
