Zac Olerjarik was definitely one of the 10 BEST juniors we have produced . A Super talent! Riverstone product!

He was a great player alright and our first player to play for the state in the senior competition, albeit in a State Colts game. Did you see his brother Henry play , he was a dynamo as well but only played the one year in grade and then disappeared.

Big call John. We have produced, many, many fine juniors so including him our top 10 ever is probably stretching things a tad. He must be one of the few to graduate from the Riverstone junior ranks thou, can’t think of too many of the top of my head.

Not sure, way before my time. All I know is that there were two John Wilson's that played first grade at Penrith in the 70s - this one had played previously at Parramatta. The other one had played one game for Penrith as a replacement in 1972, and was actually a part of the Western Division Amco Cup squad in 1974, but not sure if he played in the final.

Kids in my class played against him in a schoolboy final. Zac murdered them.

Craig Connor was in my brother's class at school, and I was in his brother's class.

Craig Connor, back rower as I remember, haven’t heard his name for years. Decent player.

Bruce was a good player but if I'm correct lost some confidence after being coat hangered by Oscar Danielson I believe from Newtown.

The old names are flooding back now, not a bad goal kicker either. His father was involved with the Club as well wasn't he.
