Junior Reps Trip To Melbourne

On Saturday 18th January 2025 our Harold Matthews (U17s) and SG Ball (U19s) experienced a fantastic pathway opportunity as both squads flew to Melbourne to play trial games against Melbourne Storm junior reps teams. Although trial games are not scored as they are used by both sides to test players, combinations and squad strength in general, our teams played strongly showing great progress in their training.

NSW Cup return to training

Our Knock-On Effect NSW Cup squad have returned from holidays to intensive training as we prepare for our first trial games of the 2025 season. Wet weather continues to cause havoc on the team's schedule; however the squad have been able to maintain both on field training and sessions in the Greg Florimo Gym under the watchful eye of Head Coach Tony Barnes and his support staff. 

Bears Attend Storm Pre-Season

As part of our player partnership with Melbourne Storm, select Bears players are given the opportunity to head down to Melbourne to train with the Storm NRL squad.  Giving our players opportunities to train at an NRL level is important to the ongoing success of the Bears NSW Cup squad as a whole. Access to high performance centres, coaches and the ability to train alongside some of the best players in the NRL is not only beneficial to the selected Bears players but has a trickle affect down to all.
