RL:Bears find new football boss to run NRL roster build

Bears NRL Mal Meninga Football Perth (Organization) David Sharpe

North Sydney Bears boss Gareth Holmes has been tasked with invigorating Perth's inaugural NRL roster recruitment amid rumours of infighting.

Holmes was announced as the club's new general manager of football on Monday, after David Sharpe left the role in April.

Sharpe's style reportedly ruffled a few feathers with chief executive Anthony De Ceglie, but inaugural coach Mal Meninga - who was crucial in getting Sharpe to the Bears - was quick to dismiss the rumours.

Holmes' most pressing task will be building the expansion club's inaugural roster ahead of their 2027 entry into the NRL.

Perth have yet to find a marquee player and suffered a demoralising blow when they and Meninga were this month fined $40,000 for breaches of the league's anti-tampering rules.
