Perth is finally getting its own NRL team, the Perth Bears, set to debut next year — and this weekend marks the last NRL game in the city before their arrival. With 27 players signed and their jersey about to drop, the Bears are building momentum for a historic season. Rugby league in WA has long been fueled by passionate grassroots efforts, from legendary clubs like the South Perth Lions to trailblazers like Samisoni Langi, who’s now coaching girls’ rugby league and inspiring the next generation. After decades of near-misses and local triumphs — including the Willagee Bears’ first-ever premiership — the arrival of the Bears isn’t just a new team; it’s a celebration of community, resilience, and the enduring love of the game in Western Australia.
