Following five wins and a draw form their last six starts, it will be a Jets side riding high on confidence which takes on the Bulldogs in a round 15 Canterbury Cup clash on Sunday.
To be played as the curtain-raiser to the Sharks v Bulldogs NRL match, the Jets have found some form of late but will need to be on their game if they hope to get the better of the reigning NSWRL premiers and a Canterbury side currently sitting third on the 2019 ladder.
The Jets have benefitted of late from the improving health of the Sharks NRL squad, with a handful of quality first grade players again featured in the Newtown side for this weekend’s game.
That being said, the younger brigade including Ronaldo Mulitalo, Brayden Trindall, Teig Wilton and Billy Magoulias have been amongst those to help guide the Jets on their recent winning run.
Both teams come into the game on the back of a week’s break due to the rep weekend, with the Jets 34-20 winners against Mounties in round 14 and the Bulldogs big winners of the Bears at their last start.
The match is scheduled for a 1.45pm kick-off at ANZ Stadium on Sunday, with the NRL match to follow at 4.00pm.
