In a disappointing result for the Western Suburbs Magpies, they were handed a heavy defeat by Newtown, with the final score being 56-20.
The match took place on Sunday afternoon at Lidcombe Oval.
Newtown's Tom Rodwell wasted no time in responding with a try shortly after.
The Jets further extended their lead when young back-rower Jesse Colquhoun, who had recently returned to the Newtown setup after playing for Cronulla's NRL side, scored another try.
Wests managed to score a try through Semisi Kioa, but Newtown quickly regained control of the game.
Three consecutive tries from Rodwell, Kayal Iro, and Jensen Taumoepeau gave the Jets a commanding 28-10 lead at halftime.
Newtown continued their dominance in the second half, with Addison Demetriou scoring a try from dummy half and Manaia Waitere setting up Mawene Hiroti for a beautiful try from a scrum.
Rodwell then secured his third try of the match, followed by Tuku Hau Tapuha bulldozing his way to the try line.
