Sam Verrills moments after the Roosters won the 2019 NRL Grand Final.

The fans have had their say on which youngster they're most excited to see in action ahead of the new season and a winner has emerged from a tight voting poll.

Up-and-coming Roosters 2020

Despite a number of exciting players to choose from, fans have sided with young gun dummy-half Sam Verrills as the most exciting of the youngsters. 

Fans got a good taste of Verrills in 2019, with 14 first grade appearances and eleven in the starting 13. 

Verrills was twice voted by fans as the Man Of The Match and gained widespread acclaim for his maturity, as well as his service and speed out of dummy-half. 

Billy Smith was a narrow second place in the poll, receiving 32% of the total votes.
