Meet our Hosts

Jonny Da Costa

Rugby League diehard and a self appointed connoisseur who has been around the game since 1990 in various capacities. Played in junior grades throughout the 90s but confessed that losing the Bears in top grade at the end of 99 dimmed enthusiasm to keep playing the game. But continued supporting the greater code regardless. A life long Bears fan who has been involved in various expansion pushes over the years.

Hi my name is Todd Nelson, I work in the disability support industry after having worked nine years at Sanitarium. I have been a supporter of the North Sydney Bears since the early 90’s, I played junior rugby league with the Wyong Roos from 1984 before moving into the seniors, I coached my sons team at the Ourimbah-Wyoming Magpies JRLFC 2007-2012, was sports trainer in 2013, I was President of Ourimbah juniors from 2013-2018 , I was also a sports trainer for the Central Coast junior representative team at the Country Championshios 2014-2015. I was a volunteer with the Central Coast Bears NRL bid between 2011-2013, taking part in many membership drives between the North Shore and the Central Coast during this time. So excited with the Perth Bears playing in the NRL from 2027.
