The Bears will travel to Emmett Street Oval to new boys Callala, in the Brumbies' first ever home game in the top grade.
"It's always great to start the season with three points, especially against a very strong Huskisson outfit - which contains one of the best attacks in the competition," Bears coach Alex Dicker said.
"Despite being down 1-nil at half-time, our boys never dropped their heads and used their superior fitness to score three second half goals against the Seagulls.
"In saying that, there's still areas we need to improve on ahead of our second match, such as defending on the counter attack.
"It's hurt us a couple of times this year already, I just don't hope it becomes our achilles heel.
"We just need to be smarter when we do have possession and think about the next phase of play, to hopefully counteract those counter attacks."
