Anthony Tupou - Newcastle Knights junior; potential was seen in this once overweight kid who is now on the cusp of Origin selection.
Craig Fitzgibbon - Illawarra Steelers junior/St George Dragon; was a bench player for St George and has gone on to represent his state and country.
Jason Cayless - Parramatta Eels; lived in the shadow of brother Nathan though at the Roosters emerged from it and IMO is the better player right now.
Craig Wing - Souths junior; once the most overrated player in the game, that all changed as part of the Roosters.
Brett Finch - Newcastle junior/Canberra Raiders; Well in his first couple of season he was improving though took at step backward in 2005 without Fittler.
