A mate of mine had the opportunity of speaking to Peter Sterling recently at a work function. This is what he wrote to me:
I only had about 20 minutes with him as there was about 100 people trying to get a piece of him or get autographs ...etc...etc
I asked him what was wrong with Parra? And he said that the main problem was there retention policy. But he said that they have bought well enough to be a force next season and Smith is at least he thinks is changing things.
He is a huge fan of Glenn Morrison. He said he had a helping hand in trying to get him. He also thinks Tahu in the centres is a gun move. He knew all his stats, 74 tries in 90 games, injured for 3 5 weeks intervals, he said injury free he will be awesome. Paul stringer is the most underrated prop in the game, because he plays for souths, but he said that Parra is committed to bringing the best out in him. He also rates Riddell very highly, he said he will add strength to the ruck area where Parra is getting hurt in matches. He even gave me stats that Parra was the most dominated team in tackles. No other team gets belted more than parra.
I didn't notice it. He said look at the roosters how they come up quick in an umbrella formation and dominate and slow the play the ball, he said I don't understand why teams just don't wide...FAST!
He said that the big loss was Lyons. If we had Lyons back, we would have had the best centre combination in the game. He said that losing Vaeliki wasn't a gr8 loss as we could probably find a suitable replacement for his calibre.
He said that Mateo was going to be huge and also a guy who made his first grade debut against the cowboys. His young and is a tank. He reckons that he is going to be that big that he is going to overshadow Hindmarsh (Who is it??)
Then, I asked him the key question,
Will you coach Parramatta?
He said that he loves channel 9, and the only reason he will leave if Packer sacks him or he gets sick of it or Fitzgerald leaves Parra. Then I will go to England to cut my teeth and come back to coach Parra. He still gets into the sheds after every Parra game to talk to the boys and to see the developments of players.
He is still very close the board of directors except for Fitzgerald.
Apparently, he used to date his sister and it fell apart and then after that they haven't spoken since.
There was some other stuff about the footy show and his playing days but this is the most important.
Up the Eels!
