The Perth Bears have moved a step closer to rounding out their roster following the signing of Niwhai Puru, who plenty of Sharks fans were sad to see depart.

Puru's just yet another player the Bears have poached from one of the more stable, well run and better performing teams of recent seasons - IP we will greatly benefit from in the West.

We have taken a closer look at the Junior Paulo contract and are now feeling better about that, plus how the 2027 roster is looking and how much cap space remains.

Plus, details emerged that the Bears weren't interested in Zac Lomax. If that doesn't fill you with confidence that this Perth Bears front office places strong standards and values on the players they're chasing, I don't know what will.

Plenty going on, as per usual!
