Almanac Rugby League: Newtown RLFC ‘characters’
The Newtown Jets may be long gone from the top flight ranks of the old NSWRL but the club marches on strong and proud in the 21st century. You can read some of the stories about Newtown that we’ve featured on The Footy Almanac this year here.
Last week we received several more photographs, courtesy of an NSWRL source, featuring some of the club’s great characters of yesteryear. They’ll bring a smile to your dial, as we used to say back in the day.

Bluebags!!!
Is it just me, or does Henry Holloway share a passing resemblance to our esteemed editor?
Which editor? I always thought a young Henry looked a bit like Fred Astaire.
Ha! I like to use a young Clint Eastwood myself.
The Jets (or Bluebags as I’m sure plenty will always know them as) have often struck me as being a bit of a mirror to Fitzroy, especially with regards to their fortunes in recent decades.
Brilliant images!
