This is a great opportunity to meet the 2022 North Sydney Bears NSW Cup and Harvey Norman Women’s Team and Coaching Staff, plus hear from our Chairman Daniel Dickson on the direction of the Club for 2022 and beyond.

Last Saturday, the NSWRL Junior Representative competitions kicked off and all three of our teams went up against the Newcastle Knights. Our inaugural Tarsha Gale Cup (U19s Females) team was first up and the cheer as these young women ran out on to the field for the first was amazing. The girls managed to calm the nervous and channel the Bear and although the Knights got the first points on the board with two early tries our girls quickly recouped with Chloe Jackson scoring the first try for the team in the 20th minute and Sienna Williams converting.

Wear the Red & Black with pride ladies, you earnt it!

It is with great pleasure that we introduce our new Football Operations Manager, Daniel Hutton, who will be overseeing all things on-field across all of our grades from Development Squads up to NSW Cup. Daniel brings with him a wealth of experience in rugby league having previously worked as an NRL Lead Game Development Officer

Over the next few weeks we will be checking in on each of our teams to see how pre-season training is going. With five teams currently training it is a feat of organisation to ensure each squad has access to field, gym, Physios, Trainers, Strength & Conditioning Coaches and, of course, their Head Coach to ensure they are maintaining a high level of performance. To start the series, we chatted with Hayden Gregory, Strength & Conditioning Coach our our Harold Matthews Cup U17s junior representative squad. Hayden has been impressed with how the team is training so far "The boys are hitting three gym sessions a week in their own time and one with the club which is a high intensity strength and conditioning circuit."

On Thursday 27th October, we released our initial roadmap to readmission to the NRL as the 18th team, this is something we have been working on this year and it's exciting to share this with all of our Members and fans. The first step on this journey was the unveiling of our refreshed Club logo. Please click on the video below to watch the story of the logo creation come to life. Our Chairman, Daniel Dickson, takes us through the initial proposed roadmap in the below video, please take the time to listen to our vision and click to read more about the roadmap to readmission.

As we prepare for the 2022 season, we announce our latest Harvey Norman Women's Premiership signings. Our Head of Recruitment, Pat Weisner, and Head Coach, Rob Capizzi, have been scouring the talent nationwide to select the best on-field to take us all the way to a Premiership next year.
