Can Petrus and Jim be attributed to the penrith system? Were they ever selected in their junior rep teams?
Not really, was making the point that someone saw talent when they were playing in the Riff junior league, DeGois and Shepard seem to be doing a decent job compared to the senior people.

As with most junior leagues, players tend to miss out due to the clubs who have coaches embedded in the junior reps favour players they know, It’s more common than a lot think.

That's almost nepotism at arms length, who'd have thunk it.
