Team Lists: 2024 Junior Reps Round 9

It's hard to imagine that we are already closing in on the end of the 2024 Junior Representative season. This Saturday our junior reps teams are spread between Wollongong and Sydney Olympic Park. Our SG Ball and Harold Matthews teams take a trip down the coast to take on Illawarra Steelers at Collegians Sporting Complex and our Lisa Fiaola and Tarsha Gale Cup squads will brave the Easter Show crowds to play the Newcastle Knights at the NSWRL Centre of Excellence. Last game of the season, go out with a bang Bears!

Team Lists: 2024 KOE NSW Cup Round 3

The trip across the Tasman didn't slow our Cup team down, as they came out all guns blazing in Pukekohe. From the get go the team was switched on and worked hard to take a good lead keeping the Warriors to just one try in the first half. Sua Fa'alogo got the Bears on the board with a beautiful chip and chase converted by Keagan Russell-Smith. Only moments later Bears were attacking the line again, Russell-Smith puts through a sweat grubber to the corner that is easily picked up by Kieran Hayman and grounded. Six minutes along and Fa'alogo makes a break off a Russell-Smith offload and darts for the white line, Russell-Smith converts.

This weekend all four Junior Reps teams head out to HE Laybutt to take on the Sea Eagles while our U16 Academy are set for a tough clash against the Penrith Panthers at Doug Rennie Oval. Round 6 saw our inaugural Lisa Fiaola Cup team secure a draw against the Bunnies, a great step forward on their rugby league journey. Our U16 Academy put on another show of great strength as they defeated the Rabbitohs on Saturday. This local junior league focused development squad have been growing in skills and confidence every round and has been wonderful to watch.

Team Lists: 2024 KOE NSW Cup Round 2

In hot and windy conditions, we got our Knock-On Effect NSW Cup 2024 season underway last Sunday as we took on St George Illawarra Dragons in Wollongong. Only five minutes in, Ben Talty got the Bears on the board with a straight and strong push for the line. The Dragons quickly answered jumping on a Bears mistake to even the scores at 4 a piece, and there the score remained for the rest of the half. Both sides seemed to be finding their combinations in the first half, and although the boys in the red & black made a number of errors, mostly in over enthusiasm, their fierce defence kept them in the game. "They had 10 sets attacking our tryline and didn't score, so we knew if we could control the ball, we would be in with a chance despite using a lot of petrol in the 1st half." stated Head Coach Pat Weisner. On the field, our captain, Kurt De Luis, could be clearly heard throughout the venue applauding the team every time they held out a set of six. His leadership and positive energy infectious.
