The Ipswich Jets are a rugby league club based in Ipswich, Queensland. Their name comes from nearby RAAF Base Amberley, one of the largest airbases in Australia. Originally in the 1980s their colours were green and white, but in recent years gold has been added to the combination. Their most famous product was Allan Langer who in 1988 was selected to play halfback for the Queensland State of Origin team while playing for the Jets, even though he was not as yet playing in the NSWRL Winfield Cup which was at that time the premier Rugby League competition in Australia. Kerrod and Kevin Walters also played for the club in their early years. Their brother, Steve Walters, played originally for Booval Swifts. In the 2007 Queensland Cup they have caused a surprise by upsetting many of their more fancied rivals and pressing for a semi-finals spot, when they had been predicted by most tipsters to finish last.
