On The Ball: Corpse Swipe On Nose
By JASON AVEDISSIAN
NORTH SHORE TIMES - 9/1/2004

Peter Peters' attempts to liven up the North Sydney/Manly rugby league rivalry over the past two weeks by calling the Bears "a corpse" has gone down like a lead balloon among Norths' people.

In Response to the Bears' attempts to qualify for the World Sevens tournament on January 21, Peters was quoted in the North Shore Times as saying:

"We don't really see Norths as rivals. It's pretty hard to have a rivalry with a corpse." North Sydney's coaching staff of Gary Larson and Greg Florimo are not amused. "He likes to put people down and there's no need for it," Larson said.

Let's hope the Bears make it through to the main draw at the Sydney Football Stadium on the weekend of January 24-25.
