Gareth Holmes: North Sydney Heritage and Elite Pathways
Q: How do you see the pathway from junior leagues feeding into the NRL for the Perth and North Sydney Bears collaboration?
The pathway is now a complete chain, starting from strong junior leagues with eight clubs in the district, feeding into Harold Matthews and SG Ball, then NSW Cup, and finally providing a clear route to Perth for NRL opportunities, with the Perth Bears acting as the ultimate aspirational destination.
Q&A special: Bite-back with the CEO
Q: Is there any chance of redeveloping the Western Grandstand at HBF Park?
The aim is to sell out every game at HBF Park, and if demand proves strong, the WA government may consider redevelopments seriously.
Q&A special: Bite-back with the CEO
Q: For current North Sydney members, are there opportunities to travel to Perth for games?
There is interest in offering travel opportunities to Perth, with involvement from the WA government and Tourism WA to facilitate fan attendance.
