- James Bracey is listed as a director connected to the Perth Bears project, with coverage noting his role on the inaugural board and ongoing involvement in Perth Bears’ preparations ahead of their NRL entry.[2][3]
- He’s also been mentioned in relation to the North Sydney Bears as a board member and media figure, illustrating his ongoing engagement with rugby league both on and off the field.[4][5][8]
