Couldn't get any further away from north Sydney. I don't know if the die hard bears supporters would be too excited about home games.

So it's a nod to the Western Reds and North Sydney Bears. Western Bears to join the NRL in 2027
Apparently PNG will be announced as the 19th team next year and will join the NRL in 2028.
It will be interesting to see what the competition will look like when 18 teams then 19 teams and even 20 teams.
Either 18 teams 2 conferences of 9 teams—25 games (225 games overall)—play teams in the other conference once and teams in your conference twice. or 24 games play each other once and 7 teams twice.- 216 games overall
19 teams - 24 games play each other once and 6 teams twice. - 224 games overall
I have read though that NRL coaches and the RLPA want the season shortened—if a 20-team comp—19 games (190 games overall ).
Currently it's 24 games (204 games overall).
Need a 20th team so they can have 2 conferences with 2 divisions of 5 teams in each.Be able to sell this to US investors who are more than familiar with such comp setups: NFL and MLB. Additional sponsors too for the 2 conferences and divisions, naming rights, etc., plus the overall main sponsor of the NRL 23 games (230 games overall).

They will, if they want him to keep living, fill Nth Sydney Oval, or Allianz, or wherever the Sydney home games will be played.
Buy merchandise, support the Western Bears any way they can.

Originally posted by Mr Whippet View PostPerth bears as absurd as Perth Roosters, West Oz very parochial, especially anything regaerdening "Easteners", stuff sake Western Reds it should be.
Norths Group now has money, and players to feed into the new team.
I like it...Western Bears...Bears fans exist.
It's yet to be seen what Western will bring to the table...if Western fans will buy season tickets and memberships every year into the future....if sponsors stay around long term, etc.

So Perth travel east for half their games, and you are happy them giving up one or two home games to be played in Sydney?
So is this North Sydney by stealth or a W. Oz side ?
Another Sydney side, whoo whoo, lets go and dance with the fairies.

The Roosters need to sign a permanent deal with the Central Coast Rugby League as the Bears no doubt will be eyeing off this area for Junior players both male and female. - 4100 registered players in WA according to 2022 stats
My understanding is that Western Bears will play only one game at North Sydney Oval against Manly Warringah Sea Eagles with the other games played at HBF Stadium in Perth - the same ground that the Roosters played the Dolphins at.
Melbourne Storm currently has a feeder club arrangement with North Sydney Bears in NSW Cup - so that will end
