Quite possibly a Rugby League player that arrived well before his time. The likeable Peter Sterling was a revelation for the Parramatta Eels as he helped take them to their first premiership against the Newtown Jets in 1981.
A young Sterling was still a notable star in a team of heros as the Eels boasted many big names such as Brett Kenny, Ray Price, Eric Grothe and Steve Ella.
Sterling defeated all comers and was a regular State of Origin and Australian Rugby League rep.

Sterling battled injury later in his career and has since begun working with Channel 9 as a football commentator.
