Sixty one-year-old Mr Bridge, from Wingham, took over as president in 2008,.
"I'm not 100 per cent committed to standing again,'' Mr Bridge confirmed.
"I'll announce my decision at the presentation.''
The group's annual meeting will be held on Sunday, November 14.
Mr Bridge admits he's lost a bit of enthusiasm for the job.
"I guess the last couple of years and the COVID break has made me think about it,'' he said.
"Last year we didn't have a senior competition, so I only had to go to under 16 or under 18 games.
I'm not 100 per cent committed to standing again.
- Group Three Rugby League chairman, Wayne Bridge
This year was cut short when we had to COVID surge and then the lockdown.
"So I started to have free weekends again and I've enjoyed them.''
During the season Mr Bridge attends games in an official capacity on Saturday and Sunday.
This means arriving at grounds, anywhere from Tuncurry to Kempsey, at 10.30, half an hour before league tag, then heading home about 5pm.
Group officials have to manage the interchange procedure for every grade and often also assume the role of time keeper.
Mr Bridge said he doesn't have a succession plan and that could influence his decision to stay on for one more season.
He added that having a chairman from one of the northern clubs would potentially be a positive.
