Message: [QUOTE="ningnangnong, post: 2427121, member: 1848"] [b]Re: Petro is retiring[/b] I've got a cool story to tell about Petero. Back in 2010, I had to do a character profile on someone for a journalism assignment at uni. I decided to aim high and try for Petero! It was a long shot, but I thought it was worth a go. I actually tried the same thing the year before, but alas the Penrith Panthers' media manager wasn't giving me anything. So, this time around I asked a BHQ member with strong ties to Petero's old club if he could help (not hard to figure out who, :wink: hope he's cool with me telling this story). Through some magic on this person's behalf, I was able to communicate with Petero, albeit through a third party. The big man was happy to help out, but I needed to go through the Panthers' media manager so it was all legit and everything. Long story short, I didn't get to interview Petero. He was meant to ring me, but it never happened - I blame the media manager. Anyway, a few months later something happened which I'll never forget. I was just chilling at home, when out of the blue I had a phone call from a private number. The person on the other end claimed to be Petero! I thought it was one of my mates taking the piss (as you do), but I soon realised it really was Petero. :rockon: He apologised for not calling me sooner, and asked if he could still help out. Obviously I had already submitted my assignment and shiz, so it was too late to organise an interview and all. It might seem like a pretty silly story, but to me, it just sums up how classy a bloke Petero is. For starters, he could've told me to bugger off right at the start when I got in touch via the third party, but he didn't. Then, he took the time out to personally ring me and apologise for the delay in getting in contact. I have lots of respect for the man. :respect: [/QUOTE]
