The Newtown club has recently formed an association with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, whereby the Jets will act as a direct feeder and development club to the Souths NRL team. This association of co-operation should prove to be very beneficial to both clubs.

Souths resurrected: The date was Friday, July 6, 2001. After two years wrapped in rugby league red tape, George Piggins and the club were freed when Justice Finn and the Federal Court ruled in favour of the foundation club's appeal against its expulsion from the National Rugby League (NRL). The ruling forced News Limited to abandon its planned 14-team competition for 2002, and saw hundreds of jubilant fans celebrating at the club's Redfern headquarters.

South’s winning their court case and Widnes being promoted were two more positives in 2001. It showed that the fans have a voice, with British fans wanting promotion and relegation back, and the Australian fans helping South’s go through the court system to win.
World of Rugby League

The second magic moment of the season came on Friday July 7 when South Sydney won the appeal against the NRL to be readmitted back into the premiership. The way the NRL handled the loss was very gracious and they did everything possible to make the Rabbitohs return as smooth as possible. The Rabbitohs victory was a victory for the people and the goodwill of the game. The next day Souths played a match against Umina in Gosford, which attracted a crowd of over 10,000 people. Souths gave the NRL a positive platform to work from and Souths the opportunity to gain new supporters from supporters who oppose News Limited and mergers.
