Maybe its just me but I my regard for Sterlo isnt as high as it once was. A combination of his involvement in the last SOO campaign plus his early attacks on Moses then blackflipping his opinion once Moses had some star moments. I think his Fox show is pretty average as well.
Id aslo prefer a little more Parra support when "his team" is being reamed by Perenara or Atkins. His carrying on for the Semi "try/no try" last Thursday was dissappointing.
Sterlo has this mythical status about him that he is 'one of the great minds in the business' and people always say he should of got into coaching etc etc... I still enjoy listening to his opinion on things but he has said plenty of things over the years where I have been left scratching my head.
Some of his prior origin teams he had selected just as a member of the media in past years had been awful and that's why I was skeptical about him actually joining Daleys crew this year while the majority were saying what a coup it was.
What you have mentioned above plus his love affair with players like Jackson, Foran and Adam Cuthbertson in the past who the vast majority of people know are ridiculously average players should be the first warning signs that he isn't some Confucius of Rugby League.
His show used to be quite enjoyable but any show that now contains Anasta, Parker, Roach and Hooper is just going to be straight up agony to sit through.. honestly what is Fox thinking?
