Peter Sterling, nicknamed Sterlo, is an Australian former rugby league player, commentator and television personality, born on 16 June 1960 in Toowoomba, Queensland. A halfback, he is regarded as one of the all-time great players in the position and was a major contributor to the dominance of the Parramatta Eels in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership in the 1980s, playing in four premiership-winning sides in 1981 to 1983 and 1986. He played eighteen Tests for Australia between 1982 and 1988 and thirteen State of Origin matches for New South Wales. He won the Clive Churchill Medal in 1986 and the Dally M Player of the Year award in 1986 and 1987. His time with the English club Hull F.C. also earned him membership of their hall of fame.
