From big cats to grizzly bears, we welcome all action centre Matt Stimson to the Bears Knock On Effect NSW Cup team in 2024. Stimson played the last two seasons with the Penrith Panthers making an impact when on the field. Originating from NSW, he also spent much of his senior player pathway in Victoria and captained the U18s Thunderbolts in 2019, trained under the Melbourne Storm programs before heading to the Panthers. He is the younger brother of NRL player Joe Stimson who previously played for Storm and more recently with the Gold Coast Titans. We look forward to seeing Matt in the red & black for the 2024 season.
