The 20-16 win was extraordinary on a few fronts but none more so than the way the match was won. Newtown fans must have thought they were experiencing deja vu when - trailing 16-14 with one final play remaining - Magoulias called for the ball on his own 40-metre line and chipped over the top of the Burleigh line. It looked like a carbon copy of the same Magoulias kick which put Kennedy over for the match winner last Sunday. This time, Magoulias' kick found Jackson Ferris due to a one-in-a-million right angle bounce and he raced away to score under the posts as the final siren rung out. Chaotic scenes ensued and that was of little surprise as even Magoulias admitted the Jets did enough to throw the game away.

"When you drop the ball 10 or 15 times, you shouldn't win the game," he said. The Jets celebrate at ANZ Stadium.

The Jets trailed 16-2 with 47 minutes on the clock. Time was on their side but Newtown had fumbled their way through the match. They didn't appear a genuine hope of a comeback.

But a pair of absurd athletic tries from Sione Katoa - including one where he was almost vertical when grounding the ball - dragged the Jets back into the match. Ferris' first try - splitting Katoa's pair - also featured Magoulias in the lead-up, not to mention more luck. A Burleigh kick ricocheted off Magoulias, bounced Ferris' way and he showed both clean hands and heels to pick up the loose ball and run away to score Newtown's second of the day. Braydon Trindall had a kick from the right sideline with four minutes to play after Katoa scored his second of the day which would have levelled the scores at 16-all but the halfback hooked the conversion attempt across the face of the posts. Loading That was seemingly the end of Newtown's hopes.
