Sterling to Coach?

[Renowned League Expert]

Anyone know anything about the rumours of Brian Smith heading back to England at season's end and Peter Sterling taking over at Parramatta?

It apparently came from a reliable source ... but we've all heard that before, right?

He has a contract with Ch 9.

The commentary,the thursdaynight footy show and also the sunday show.

Where is he going to find time to coach a 1st grade team?

If this is true good luck to him I think he'd make a great coach

Sterling is like Billy Anderson was, can see things happening b4 they actually occur. It's on thin to see them but another to be able to get it to the players in time. I don't think Sterlo will coach in the short term. He makes good money now and i don't think he would test his value on the fact that he could end up a shocking coach.

It is too late for Sterling to coach. He is ensconsed in commentary. In fact he is one of the few good ones Channel 9 has so they won't let him go. And he is too comfortable in his current role (which doesn't take much work). Why risk being an unsuccessful coach?

 

[Hurriflatch]

Greeneyed: Yeah, can't see Sterling going to coaching for the same points that you have just made.

As for Smith from memory he is under contract untill the end of 2006.

He definately knows his stuff and would be a great coach but i dont think he will be coaching.

But we both know contracts don't mean anything these days ...

Cannot see Smith giving up his post either, and can't see Denis Fitzgerald asking him to leave either.

 

[Stagger eel]

It's an interesting little rumour, but a couple of things I know will put this to rest.

1] Smith will never part with the club under his current agreement for two reasons his on too good a wicket at the moment and "tightarse" Fitzgerald won't dare pay him out.

2] Sterling and Fitzy had a falling out last season about this very topic in a corporate box during a premier league match.

Remember the good old days when Sterlo was the sensible one on the panel of the footy show? Well these days his head is too far up his own arse and still think he thinks his poo doesn't stink. I reckon now is as good as any time to go and be a coach cause i have had enough of his melon on the tele, but still as i said earlier, he is on too much money to leave what he is doing. It's amazing how much someone can be paid for being a tosser these days.

Won't happen, what may happen is Jason Taylor may take over and Smith become a overseer like Gould is to Roosters.

I think its pretty funny how both Freeman and Sterling seem to rubbish Parramatta? I think "someone" from Parramatta must of pissed them off

Having both played for them, (and myself playing in their junior league many years ago) they probably wonder what happens to all the talent plays there but doesn't make it to the big league

 

[Southernsaint]

Can you imagine Sterlo at the Monday video sessions??

"If we can just freeze it there..."

What?

 

[Booyah]

I think he's been out of it too long.

Most blokes wait about 3 years and start coaching an English side or junior reps or something. Has Sterlo done any of that?

Its the same with Sludge Rogers. He was named as a possible coach for Cronulla before Stuey, but he has been out of it too long.
