Proof that the Penrith system can make you look a superstar, when you're a complete jobber.
Melbourne is the gold standard for this.
Legend has it Jesse Bromwich was at a Storm training pre season to watch his brother trial for a deal. Started up a conversation with a trainer after Kenny told him his brother plays footy too. Turns out the trainer was sent over by their then coach BA, thinking he was spying on the session. an Under 20s session i believe. Next thing Bellamy decides to let him have a trial. Also gives him a deal. Four years later he is arguably the best prop in the game.
Not that Jesse was a jobber by any means. But the fact he was playing group country footy prior to this and no one spotted him, tells you just how good Bellamy can be at making a player buy into the system.
