The Werribee Bears Rugby League Club was first established in 2008 by Rangi Tiananga. Rangi had an idea that he wanted to start a rugby league club in Werribee as he saw the need of a different code to be started in the Wyndham District area, as it was dominated by AFL/VFL footy clubs, Soccer clubs and one Rugby club. but there were no Rugby League club in the area. With the help of his son Aaron Tiananga, the idea was put into reality. News of a new rugby league club being established in the Werribee area spread fast. There was a lot of interest from people in the community that wanted to be involved with the club. The first step was to come up with a name. The name Werribee Bears was chosen because a Bear represents Strength which represents the strength as an individual, as a team and as a club. In May 2008 the club approached the Victorian Rugby League Association to be affiliated with as they ran the Victorian Rugby League Competition. The club first entered the 2009 season as it was too late to enter the team in the 2008 season because it had already started. In June 2008 the club was now Incorporated with the Victorian Consumers Affairs under the name "Werribee Bears Rugby League Sports Club Inc". The club was also registered with an Australian Business Number and Tax file number. In July 2008 a large number of players showed their interest in playing for the Werribee Bears senior side. The first training session was held on 8 July and over 30 players turned up every Sunday for training. Due to this the Victorian Rugby League gave the club four exhibition matches to play during the 2008 season which was a great way to introduce the Werribee Bears into the VRL and to give the players a taste for what was to come in the 2009 season. The main goal of the Werribee Bears is first and foremost to make it a family orientated club and to have its doors open to anyone who wishes to be a member, supporter or volunteer with Werribee Bears Rugby League Club. The Club motto is "Commitment, Respect & Dedication"
