Bernie Drew (16 October 1927 – 12 August 2010) was an Australian rugby league player.
A second-rower and lock, Drew came into the Newtown Jets first-grade side in 1947 as a local junior. He left in 1949 to take up a player-coaching role with North Queensland club Proserpine, then returned to Newtown the following year for more season, before moving to Bundaberg to coach Brothers.[1]
Drew was a second-rower in the Queensland state side from 1951 to 1955. He played for Australia in the 2nd and 3rd Test matches of a home series against France, replacing second-rower Harold Crocker, who had been shifted to lock after Noel Mulligan got injured.[2] In 1953, Drew toured New Zealand with the national team and was their top-scoring forward with 31-points, but featured in only the third of the three Test matches.[3]
