John ("Jack") McGrath, my grandfather, was the President/Chairman (not sure of title) of North Sydney at one time. He died in 1949, before I was born, so I never got a chance to know him.
Can anybody show me where I can find any information about his position with the club, his tenure, and any other references to his official activities with the club?

The name Northern Eagles had little relevance to North Sydney with many people feeling the word Northern represented the Northern Beaches and not the word Norths or North used to describe North Sydney since 1908. The word Eagles reflected directly the Eagle or Sea Eagle of the Manly club and had noting to do with the beloved mascot of the North Sydney club that being the Bear.
lol, why not just say "..the name Northern Eagles was born, which was a bad choice, North Sydney Bears would've been better"

In addition to theboilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent withfair use.
Please go tothe image description page and edit it to include afair use rationale. Using one of the templates atWikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

The article claims thatMitchell Pearce was a former North Sydney player.
The article on Mitchell Pearce stateshe has played his entire career to date with the Roosters
These article as they stand need to be corrected or clarified. He either played for Norths, or he didn't. (Perhaps he played for Norths at a lower grade)

I have restored the{{notable players}} tag that had been removed by an IP as the issue hasn't been addressed. If someone could add an explanatory note to say what the list signifies, and what the criteria for inclusion is, that would be great, Thanks,Nzd(talk)23:46, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While there is an association with thePerth Bears, that will be a new team. It won't be a merger or relocation of the North Sydney based team.Uaerinalte (talk)06:20, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
