Multiple outlets report that NRL clubs are considering a player loan system to help the Perth Bears improve their squad as they try to build a competitive roster. The reports describe Perth’s ongoing recruiting challenges and say the proposal would allow other NRL clubs to temporarily place players with the Bears to strengthen depth and match readiness.
The articles also link the potential roster shake-up to the arrival of Zac Lomax in PNG, presenting it as part of a broader set of personnel changes affecting the Bears’ planning. While the coverage focuses on the loan idea as a “left-field” option, it does not indicate that a final decision has been made or specify the exact terms of any arrangement.
Across the reports, the central points are the Bears’ difficulty assembling a competitive team and the league club-to-club flexibility being discussed as a solution. The reports treat the initiative as under consideration and frame Lomax’s PNG arrival as relevant to timing and squad availability.
