Good post. The rivalry actually goes a bit deeper as a good part of these two squads played each other in the 2014 SG Ball GF as well as the 9's GF in 2017 (due to alot of regular first graders not being used).There was plenty of talent on show in NYC grand final in 2016:
Penrith
Dylan EDWARDS
Christian CRICHTON
Tyrone MAY
Kaide ELLIS
Wayde EGAN
Roosters
Joseph MANU
Victor RADLEY
Nat BUTCHER
Both Nathan Cleary and Latrell Mitchell were eligible to play.
Other Players who have come close to first grade after being named on extended squads
Corey WADDELL
Sitili TUPOUNIUA
Paul MOMIROVSKI
Who knows what's next...
