Norths fell just short again at the back end of last season, losing to Randwick 17-15 in last year's grand final. Since winning the Shute Shield title in 2016, the Shoreman haven't finished outside of the top four.

But Norths are acutely aware that their premiership window won't stay open forever, despite being arguably the most consistent side of the past decade, and are desperate to find a way to win the final match of the season in 2024.

Overview with Zak Beer: 

“We had a highly productive camp down in Wollongong earlier in March. We’ve gone down there for the last few seasons and we get plenty out of it,” Beer told Rugby News. 

“We focused on three main goals. Firstly, we looked at what we stand for as a group and what we're about. That was different to what it was last year because the group is made up of different players and it’ll be different again next year.
