Manly coaches fight each other outside Sydney pub

Many Sea Eagles are investigating an incident outside a Sydney pub which reportedly involved two coaching staff members.

It is believed to have involved assistant coach Willie Peters and head of physical performance Dan Ferris, who had to be separated by police on Wednesday night outside the Orient Hotel in The Rocks.

“A criminal infringement notice was issued to a 38-year-old man for offensive behaviour,” New South Wales Police said.

Manly have today released the following statement: “The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have been made aware of an incident involving two members of our coaching staff yesterday evening.

“The club has commenced an internal review into the matter. We have notified the NRL integrity unit that we have commenced our review and will keep them fully informed.”

Peters, 38, is a former Gateshead, Widnes and Wigan half-back and was instrumental in helping the Warriors reach the 2000 Super League Grand Final.
