The first test for our 2024 Knock-On Effect NSW Cup squad begins on Saturday 3rd February when we take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Hills Grammar. We have four trial games scheduled this season which is more than previous seasons and a great chance to prepare the entire squad for round 1. Every player in our 35-man squad will get decent game time in the trials, although not necessarily playing every game. “Every player can expect a good hit-out that’s more realistic in terms of fatigue and conditioning.” commented Head Coach Pat Weisner. Weisner went on to say “We have a really tough schedule in the first 3 away games with lots of travel involved so we need to be as well-prepared for that as we can be.”.

Entry to the trial game on Saturday 3rd February is $10 per adult, $5 concession and Kids U16 are FREE. All 2024 Bears Members also have complimentary access to this game, and the 4 junior reps home game days at Hills Grammar, included in their memberships (regardless of membership tier). Simply show your members card at the gate. Go Bears!
