Forget about the Roosters V the Rabbitohs, Rugby League’s greatest rivals hit the turf this Saturday at TG Milner Field, Marsfield.

Yes those great rivals of the North, Manly-Warringah and North Sydney will meet in round two of the NSW Cup, the new name for the next level down from the National Rugby League. But will the new Bear Cubs on the team fully comprehend what’s at stake…

Impressed with the Bears second half performance last Saturday, South Sydney Coach Jason Taylor has elevated Ben Lowe, Shannon Hegarty and George Nadaira to the Rabbitohs NRL side, while Jaiman Lowe and Jeremy Smith will slip on the red and black this weekend in a team that features a slew of North Sydney up and comers.

This match is the Bears first home game of the season, and the action starts at 1.40pm for the Harold Matthews V Souths, 3pm for the SG Ball V Souths and the main game at 4.30pm v Manly. North Sydney Oval is not yet ready for play, so the Bears hit their second home TG Milner Field at Marsfield.
