Perth Bears sign Jonathan Sua for 2027 season

The Perth Bears are gearing up for their historic inaugural season in the National Rugby League (NRL) in 2027.

Under the leadership of legendary coach Mal Meninga, the expansion club is building a competitive roster from the ground up.

A major step in this process is the acquisition of 21-year-old winger Jonathan Sua, who has signed a four-year contract with the team.

Sua, a standout talent from the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, is known for his skill as an elite finisher.

By securing Sua, the Bears are signaling their commitment to establishing a strong foundation in Western Australia.

Based in Perth and playing at HBF Park, the club is set to begin pre-season training in November 2026.

With the backing of the Western Australian Government and the expertise of Meninga, the Perth Bears are quickly shaping their identity as they prepare to take the field as the league's 18th team.
