I haven't, no.

But I know that the North Sydney Bears have been very, very consistent this year in the New South Wales Cup.

They've put together a team.

They cut ties with all NRL clubs this year.

So they had to piece together a team solely based on the people in that organisation.

They have sat equal first all year.

So the people that are running that club are doing a great job.

Bears, yep.

Harold Matts and SG Ball.

I believe my understanding is they're targeting an SG Ball side out of Perth for 2029.

Yes.

This is part of their problem is they haven't fully figured it all out.

Yes.

Yes and no.

So as I said, the plan is to have an SG ball side out of Perth by 2029.

So you have...

You have the Perth Bears making signings, but you also have the North Sydney Bears making their own signings as well.

They're trying to get on the same page, but obviously there are so many people.

Well, it's also not uncommon to pay them living away from home allowance.

You train of an evening, you get a job during the day.
