Greg Florimo is regarded one of the North Sydney Bears finest servants.

Having played a record 285 games for the Club, Florimo has been instrumental in North Sydney’s push for re-entering the NRL in partnership with a new Perth franchise.

Until now, the former NSW and Australian representative has been guarded about sharing his thoughts on the Bears potential re-instatement but today’s decision by the NRL Commission’s to rubber stamp their resurrection has opened the door for Florimo to finally celebrate.

Florimo speaks exclusively about the journey, the frustration and the joy he finally feels.

He also shares some great stories about his time at the club and talks about many of the great players and coaches he met along the way.
