Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

I think we are more likely to see Sanders at 6, Strange at centre and Kris at wing than Sandera in Cup. Obviously Strange is our long term 6 but if the choice is between Sanders or Hoppa/Cotric I think we are clearly stronger with Sanders. Kris should never play wing again. If Strange were to move ...

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

Regardless of what people think of Ricky as a Coach it appears that the reason we are getting to punt on this trio of junior stars from outside the Raiders system is mostly because of him. The players and their families seem to really appreciate the care he and the club are putting into the players....

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

Being Premiership contenders in 2029 with Stewart/Strange/Sanders is more realistic than 2026, in my opinion. Especially given GE says we have a highly touted 9 coming through the juniors too.

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders reportedly agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

Very happy with this signing. As many have said, he may make it, he may not but absolutely the right play by the Raiders to take a punt on him.

Re: 2024 Round 7 v Broncos: Game Day

Seeing Chevy continually running back at top speed on kick returns in the second half - after an horrendous first half - gives me great hope for the future. Who knows how far he (and Strange) go in the game but the early signs are of a courageous, committed young bunch coming through. I for one am h...

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

Ricky was right in the presser, the Titans were blatantly slowing down the ruck. It was cynical and how they didn't get one player sent to the bin astounds me. Realistically should have been 10+ more 6 agains.

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

I could be biased, but I honestly consider Stuart to be the best half to play the game. 30 to 35 years ago he was at the peak of his powers. As much as I hate cam smith you cannot deny what he achieved. I also personally have Thurston ahead of John's. Played a massive part of that run for qld Yeah,...

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

You'll never see me try and argue that Lockyer was better than Johns, but I'm also not stupid enough to claim Johns is the best player I've ever seen when he's not even the best halfback OR in the top 3 players I've seen play the game in 35 years.

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Chevy Stewart to debut

Very happy to see Chevy get a go if reports are true. And if he shows he belongs in First Grade at such a young age (big if so early) our team is so much stronger with a legit fullback and Rapa (when he comes back) and Savage on the wings.

Re: Raiders look to extend Ethan Strange contract

I'm in the camp of pushing all our chips in on Strange. The best thing is he is the perfect 6 to pair with Fogarty short term and hopefully Sanders long term. And they are the perfect 7's to pair with him.
