Re: Canberra Raiders sign star young Eels half Ethan Sanders

Based on what I've read, he's been awesome over in the UK. If the plan was to allow him to gain experience and confidence and consider bringing him back then it seems to have worked. Hope they win the challenge cup and he returns with confidence

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly keen to target Ezra Mam

:x 9 In the current setup, yes. But when Chevy, Sanders, Strange, etc make it to first grade... my HOPE is we become more of an attacking team.

Re: Canberra Raiders release Brad Schneider

Looks like this has been a really good move from the club. Allowing Brad to gain experience while retaining the option to pull him back as required. Let's hope his form continues and he comes back with a winning attitude and more belief.

Hey GE. years ago there was a thread where we could ask someone from the club questions. Any chance of contacting the club to see if this is something that we could get reinstated?

If yes, first question would be whether there is truth to resigning Levi long term.

Re: Canberra Raiders sign star young Eels half Ethan Sanders

Yeah my thoughts are that he will be a long term replacement for fogarty. Fogs off contract in 24. I'd be looking to extend him at least 1 year based on current form and see how sanders develops. We know Stuart can be tentative with blooding young spine players, arguably with good reason.

I've personally seen enough of Levi. There may be a quality footballer in there but I haven't seen it. While stats may not paint the same picture, the eye test would suggest that wolford is light years ahead of him. Raiders win rate with him at 9 would support this.
