Every parra player who has worn the number 7 jersey since sterling left

I'd love to see that list. Maybe if I get 5 minutes later on I'll hit google and see what i can come up with. Sterlo's last full season was 1990, so 26 years ago. Any bets on the number of players to have worn the cursed Parra number 7 since then ?

Foran is one so there are another 9 to include on the list
Kieran Foran set to take Peter Sterling’s mantle as Parramatta’s No.7

Paul Crawley, The Daily Telegraph
November 11, 2015 9:33pm

FOR 25 years Parramatta have searched for the right man to take ownership of their prized No. 7 jumper.

On Thursday Kieran Foran will be officially unveiled as the latest to try and put to bed the Peter Sterling halfback curse.

Coach Brad Arthur has confirmed Foran will become the 35th player to wear the Eels’ No.7 jumper since 1990, after which Sterling only played a total of four games in his final two seasons.

“Kieran will be halfback. Kieran wants to get his hands on the ball more so he will be able to do that,” Arthur said.

“He comes as our marquee player and the difference will be that he is going to have a lot more responsibility.”

ARTHUR: Get off Choc’s back

Parramatta haven’t won a premiership since 1986, managing just two grand final appearances. In Arthur’s third year in charge, and with Foran’s reported $1.1 million a season price tag, comes pressure to change that.

“He is going to have to lead and we want him heavily on the ball,” Arthur said of Foran.

“And that is a halfback’s role. We really want him taking control of this team.”

Adam ritson.

Adam Ritson wasn't ruined by doesn't-matta. That was thanks to a high shot from Canberra's John Lomax that left him unconscious and with a life threatening brain cyst at the age of just 19.

But luckily, they only found the life threatening cyst as a result of scans following the John Lomax high shot

Adam used to frquent the pub i worked in back in the 90's. The amazing thing was that the scans also found a brain.

Parramatta's like the Elephant Graveyard, players head in that direction when they know their days are numbered.
