It's Official. Perth Bears 100% confirmed as the NRLs newest team.

Numbers released on Thursday at Press Conference

We've got 5,000 registered tackle participants and we've got 17,000 touch participants already and that number is just going to skyrocket,” Abdo said.

(this is measure is really good) When you think there is not even a NRL Team in PERTH

Our great sport , all its variants
will explode with participants in the coming 10 years , great to see young WA girls & boys getting of their bums playing sport
being healthy & getting involved in a sport that is the most watched in the land,
& where they can represent their country

100% I can see a HUGE lift in participants in the Tag / Touch comps... very easy to setup and good way to get into the game..

I agree with Billy here , an interesting story going around too , that HE might be on the radar for the Bears if Bellamy signs a new deal with the Storm
and
If Bellyache leaves the Storm he will go to the Bears for enormous $$, & Billy will take the reigns at the Storm in 2026.

back to the Story
Bears 1st order of business will be their coach , others in the mix are Brad Arthur & Sam Burgess ...needs to happen soon.
a few months max.
Then the NRL will tell all clubs the Bears will be able to talk to players off contract in 2027.... now !!
& not have to wait til Nov 1st

Yeah definitely need more time before Nov 1st
as the Move in itself is across country..
players would need to pruchase houses and everything long distance.
i have no problem with this a few months leeway..

i am pretty sure it will be Brad Arthur,
The Bears and nrl are already putting things into effect
