May 17, 1967 Greg Florimo born.

North Sydney junior made his first grade debut in 1986 and went on to play a record 285 first grade games with the Bears during arguably their most successful era.

Florimo started as a centre but had the build, toughness and skill set to play at five eighth or in the back row as required. In 1997 he achieved a rare 10/10 RLW rating for his effort in a 41-8 win over Manly and his abilities lifted him into both the NSW State of Origin side and ultimately on to the 1994 Australian Kangaroo tour.

After 13 seasons with Norths he shifted to the UK to finish his career with swansong years at Wigan and Halifax but he returned to North Sydney and took over the job as CEO when the club was on its knees.

Under his steady guidance the Bears have regained strength and are again pushing for inclusion into the NRL. Happy Birthday Flo!

North Sydney Bears (7th) v Wentworthville Magpies (8th)
North Sydney Oval, Sunday 22 May
3pm

One team came away with a fairytale ending at a picturesque North Sydney Oval, while the other was demolished by the cellar-dwellers at Belmore; the game between 7th and 8th position shapes as an unpredictable affair on Sunday afternoon.

The Bears will be boosted by the inclusion of explosive dummy-half Damien Cook, who didn’t play in either grade last week. The hooker, however, has proven to many that he is NRL-worthy and his experience will be clear should he run out as named against the Magpies.

While North Sydney have displayed unconvincing form in recent weeks – which has included two one-point victories in their last three starts – Wentworthville remain in the midst of a crushing mid-season slump. The black-and-whites now haven’t tasted victory since Round 5 and with the effects of Parramatta’s salary cap crisis flowing through the grades, they have faced significant difficulties on and off the field. Given the Magpies’ strong start to the year, of course, the two teams still remain neck-and-neck on the ladder and a win could see the Magpies leapfrog the Bears in Round 11.

ISP NSW Report: North Sydney v Wentworthville
Simon Masterton
Sun 22nd May, 04:45PM




The North Sydney Bears have seen off a late charge from the Wentworthville Magpies, extending the Magpies' mid-season losing streak to five games. On a typically beautiful Sunday afternoon at North Sydney Oval, the Bears ran out to a convincing half-time lead and while poor discipline allowed the Magpies to mount a case for a Round 11 victory, the home side leave with another valuable two competition points.

North Sydney wasted no time in opening their account for Round 11; halfback Eli Levido sent late inclusion Abbas Miski over in the corner after just four minutes. The conversion was missed but the home side grabbed a second just six minutes later, as Tautalatasi Tasi showed great strength to break free and run 40 metres to score.

It brought in a back-and-forth ensuing 10 minutes as the Magpies looked to get on the board, but just as they were applying pressure on the Bears' line an intercept from Siosifa Talakai got the Bears 50 metres upfield and provided relief. Eventually the Magpies' defence couldn't hold up, and a miscommunication under a Levido kick bomb resulted in a fumble close to their own line. Tevita Coterall made the most of it in the ensuing set, crossing for a try which was converted for a 16-0 lead.

Wentworthville hit back straight after, however, with Scott Schulte charging for the line and eventually burrowing his way under a lazy North Sydney defence. The kick was waved away, but the Magpies were on the board late in the opening stanza.

On the stroke of half-time, a perfectly-placed Levido grubber was fumbled by Magpies Troy Dargan and pounced on by Coterall, who grabbed his second. Levido slotted the conversion for a 22-4 scoreline at the break.

The Bears came out of the sheds and started the second stanza in the best possible fashion; a nightmare bounce from the kick-off found touch and gifted them an early attacking set, which needed just two tackles before Latrell Schaumkel crossed in the North West corner. With another conversion from Levido, the Magpies well and truly had their backs against the wall with 38 minutes remaining.

The men in black and white continued to throw all they could at North Sydney but failed to reap any rewards, as they were first held up and then ruled to have knocked on in the in-goal. After 53 minutes, prop Daniel Alvaro scored off a fantastic individual run and captain Cody Nelson wasted no time in adding the extras.

The Bears were on the wrong end of a string of penalties and errors and 10 minutes later Wentworthville crossed again - this time through Nick Kassis. Once again Nelson's conversion was successful and they reduced the deficit to 12.

A penalty to North Sydney soon allowed them to get the lead back past two converted tries when Levido took the two points from in front. Five minutes later, Sitiveni Moceidreke put in an unexpected grubber for himself, which he pounced on to score and put the result beyond doubt with less than 10 minutes remaining.

In the dying stages of the game, Siosifia Talakai took yet another intercept to run 60 metres and take a well-earned try. Damien Cook put the icing on the cake with a successful sideline conversion and the Bears ran out 42-16 winners.
