    The Bears make two key appointments

    The Perth Bears are getting stuff done, appointing Gareth Holmes as their GM of Football, which is a huge gig for a startup club. Plus, we've given none other than David Campese an intriguing role. There's another Geyer in Perth, as the Bears announce they've landed Mark's son Maverick in a nice multi-generational moment for WA Rugby League. And what would fans think about going after Storm centre Jack Howarth, who has fallen out of favour at Melbourne? Chapters: 2:00 - Bears sign Mav Geyer 7:50 - Gareth Holmes is our new GM 18:30 - David Campese's new role, targeting South African talent 26:00 - Player movement involving Jesse McLean, Starford Toa, Alex Seyfarth and Jack Howarth We are the Grizzwolds!

    The Bears' next targets are no-brainers

    Fresh off the news the Perth Bears have landed highly-rated outside back Mason Barber (plus a North Sydney fan favourite on a train and trial), it's time to target a couple of fan favourites the locals can rally around. Also, the Tigers' recent form is a timely reminder that high profile players don't guarentee winning, despite what those comparing PNG to Perth would have you believe. Chapters: 2:00 - Bears' top NSW Cup form 3:15 - Why extending AJ Gudgeon is cool for Perth fans 4:20 - Now we need to target WA products in Royce Hunt and Josh Rogers 7:00 - Why Hunt fits 12:30 - The Mason Barber deal is reportedly confirmed. He's a star in the making. 16:45 - Jasais Ah Kee's family connections 18:00 - Who are our starting ventres? 19:30 - We love James McDonnell 23:45 - Jarome Luai and the Tigers offer us lessons and takeaways 28:00 - Let's target Tom Jenkins and here's why We are the Grizzwolds!

    The Bears get busted for tampering

    Coach Mal Meninga and the Perth Bears are being investigated by the NRL's Integrity Unit for publicly courting contracted players. So were we in the wrong and what do we expect happens now? Also, the club has reportedly signed very exciting prospect Jasais Ah Kee on a three-year deal, plus is closing in on landing the prized signature of Cowboys young gun Mason Barber. These have gone under the radar until now, so we unpack them from every angle. Chapters: 1:45 - The Bears are being investigated for tampering 7:30 - This is sloppy from Mal 9:45 - We invent 'inverted tampering' 13:30 - Thoughts on the Jacob Preston noise 15:00 - We are reportedly signing young gun Jasais Ah Kee 20:00 - We are reportedly on the verge of signing Mason Barber 25:30 - The shape of our roster

    Big domino falls in maiden marquee pursuit

    We've been obsessing over the prospect of Bulldogs half Matt Burton being granted a chance to break his contract and join the Perth Bears as of next season. And a big domino fell this week, instagating that prospect to become very real. Plus, we had to kick off the show talking Foundation Memberships. The website had issues and some original Bears fans voice their frustration. And we target some specific players that should be next on the Bears' recruitment hit list. Chapters: 3:30 - Memberships have flown off the shelves 4:45 - Have original North Sydney fans been mistreated? 12:30 - Our inaugural home jersey 14:45 - The Memberships website issue 21:15 - Phil Gould addresses Matt Burton's future 26:30 - Which other players are on the hit list? 31:15 - Our Leeds Rhinos boys dominated last weekend We are the Grizzwolds!

    We don't want salary cap concessions

    Most people think the Perth Bears need help. That we haven't signed anyone of note. That we're heading sharply towards a wooden spoon in 2027. And that the NRL needs to step in. But it's not that simple. Also, is Ben Ikin genuinely a possibility to take a big role in Perth? The name Luke Metcalf is getting thrown around - should we be interested and is he a good fit? Chapters: 1:30 - Whispers about the away jersey 3:30 - Ben Ikin leaving QRL 6:30 - Do the Perth Bears need help... and more publicity? 12:30 - Our roster-building concessions 14:00 - Cam McInnes talk 15:30 - Reported friction between Meninga and Gardiner 19:30 - New signings to be announced soon 23:30 - The Matt Burton thing is falling into place Follow us on insta (@thegrizzwoldsnrl), youtube (@TheGrizzwoldsNRL) and please follow and subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast player; like Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

    This week's media meltdown, Sam Wykes' unique player insight

    Well, what a week. And, let's be honest, none of it was the club's doing. PNG landed a big fish, and all of a sudden, the Perth Bears pile on went into overdrive.

Sam Wykes played 87 games for the Western Force and joined the show to offer his unique insight into the challenges involved in relocating to Perth and the types of issues the Perth Bears will need to be across when players uproot their lives to the West. Chapters: 1:45 - The Bears 'bad' week and how PNG's big Jarome Luai coup has altered perception ('Perth-ception') around the Bears and their roster 5:45 - Lucrative pay vs opportunity and how our recruitment philosophies are unique 8:00 - There's a lot of Moneyball in what we've done with our roster so far 12:25 - Sam Wykes joins to provide insight around relocating to Perth and the challenges for not just players but their families 25:30 - Does Sam buy our supposed Central West NSW nucleus?
