Here's all the latest news from the Newtown Jets ...
The 2012 Newtown Jets membership packages are now available and there’s a more extensive range of options on offer than ever before. There’s no better way to show your support for the ongoing viability and financial well-being of this club than by renewing your membership or joining for the first time. Encourage your family members and friends to join up as well. You’ll find all the necessary information at: http://bit.ly/uKvtbD

The Jets are into their third week of pre-season training in preparation for the 2012 VB NSW Cup season. The boys will train up until Christmas and then take a short break before resuming early in the New Year. 2011 identities seen back at training include Chris Enahoro, Francis Vaioutu, Byron “Bizza” Ford, Ryan Verlinden, Kurt Kara, Khalid Deeb, Ahmad Ellaz, Isaac Maliota, Boyd Strickland and Sammy Brunton. In addition there are several players from the 2011 Bundaberg Red Cup premiers Cabramatta training with Newtown, as well as a number of other triallists with NSW Cup and Toyota Cup experience gained at other clubs. Add to this those players in full-time training with the Sydney Roosters who will also challenge for positions in Newtown’s top 17 for Round One of the 2012 VB NSW Cup.
Newtown’s coaching staff for 2012 is Greg Matterson (Head Coach) along with Darryl Neville and Daniel Wortley (Assistant Coaches). Sean Rutgerson has moved on and we thank Sean for his tremendous input during 2011. John Zollo is the 2012 Head Strength and Conditioning Coach and Sam Mavrovelis backs up as the Team Manager. The 2012 VB NSW Cup competition is greatly enhanced by the return of Illawarra (partnered of course with the St George-Illawarra NRL franchise) and the arrival of Mt Pritchard Mounties (partnered with the Canberra Raiders).
Newtown’s popular and long-serving President and Director Barry Vining had the great honour of receiving a most prestigious award from the International Federation of Freight Forwarders (FIATA) at that organisation’s recent World Congress in Cairo. Barry has been a senior official with Newtown for more than 30 years and has also been a Vice-President of FIATA for an extended period.

Sunday, 12th February: v Canterbury-Bankstown at Belmore Oval, kick-off time to be announced

Keep up with how former Newtown Jets players Luke Towers, Steve Naughton, Johnno Ford, Brad Barrett and Jason Baitieri are faring in the French Rugby League. Our website manager Susan Harkus is most diligent in her scrutiny of the French media for updates on the boys: http://bit.ly/tY90q7
Congratulations to Newtown Jets high-performance forwards Khalid Deeb and Ahmad Ellaz, who represented Lebanon in a series of Rugby League internationals against Russia in Moscow, Serbia in Tripoli (Lebanon) and against Italy in Belgrade (Serbia). Italy under the captaincy of the Sydney Roosters fullback Anthony Minichiello won the tournament and have qualified for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.
Work is well underway on the Federally-funded Henson Park upgrading. Newtown’s first round competition match is against Wentworthville at Ringrose Park on Sunday, 4th March at 3.00pm. The complete 2012 VB NSW Cup draw will be announced in late November and will be displayed on the Newtown RLFC website: www.newtownjets.com
