Burgess joined Moon's team ahead of the Diamond League event in Doha and claimed he had been forced to look overseas for coaching opportunities after being banned from the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) facilities after his resignation.

For rugby league fans in Western Australia and North Sydney, the announcement of the Bears' reintroduction to the National Rugby League is cause for celebration. It ends WA's near 30-year absence from top-flight league, following the axing of the Western Reds in 1997, and sees the North Sydney Bears colours and legacy continue on the west coast.

Making the announcement on social media, Premier Cook revealed the state government would spend $65 million on the club, which could play its first game in 2027 or 2028, over the next seven years.

"Half-hearted.""Not tough enough.""Too comfortable.""Absolute crap.""Are we up for the challenge?"Those were words used by Fremantle players or coaches to describe performances in recent weeks, as the club stumbles from one inconsistent performance to another.

It was only three weeks ago WA Premier Roger Cook lashed the National Rugby League for its treatment of a bid for a Perth team, accusing the organisation of using his state as a "cash cow". “Given our location on the Indian Ocean rim and in the same time zone as 60 per cent of the world’s population, the strategic value of a Western Australian side should be self-evident to the NRL," he told the Sydney Morning Herald.
