After months of whispers, teaser drops, and mounting buzz across the footy world, Netflix has finally confirmed what fans have been waiting to hear. The streaming giant has announced that the long-awaited documentary on Peter Sterling – one of rugby league’s most admired and decorated players – will premiere on June 14th, sending a surge of excitement through Parramatta Eels supporters and league lovers nationwide.

Titled "Sterlo: The Game Within the Game", the series dives deep into the life and legacy of the legendary No.7 who helped shape the golden era of the Parramatta Eels. From the glory years of the 1980s, where he played a key role in securing four premierships, to his later rise as a voice of the game in the commentary box, this is the definitive story of a rugby league genius both on and off the field.

For years, fans have been calling for a tribute worthy of Sterling’s legacy – a look behind the calm, calculating exterior of one of the sport’s most intelligent playmakers. Now, with the premiere date locked in, rugby league social media has erupted. Eels fans are posting highlights, classic Sterlo assists, and tributes to the man who made magic look effortless in blue and gold.

Sources close to the production hint at a documentary filled with never-before-seen footage, emotional interviews, and raw honesty. From the pressure of leading Parramatta through its most dominant era, to injuries, rivalries, and the mental weight of being the team’s general, this is not just a career retrospective – it’s a human story of greatness and grit.

The six-part series is produced by the same award-winning team behind The Test and Sunderland 'Til I Die, bringing a cinematic polish and narrative intensity that matches Sterling’s cool-headed brilliance. Expect appearances from Eels legends, past opponents, coaches, and even present-day NRL stars reflecting on Sterlo’s enduring influence.

With the trailer set to drop any day now, the countdown to June 14th is officially on. Whether you grew up watching him tear apart defensive lines, or you’ve only heard tales of the Eels’ dynasty, "Sterlo: The Game Within the Game" promises to be a moving, inspiring celebration of one of rugby league’s greatest minds – and a man who became much more than just a player.
