"Scouting the nation for the best new talent to join the Bears has been my highest priority for a few months now. We have been able to lock in a number of players with strong NRL experience. Although we will still be welcoming back Roosters players into our team each week, ensuring we have high quality contracted Bears players to draw on week in and week out is essential to our team's performance next year" said Weisner.
