Ethan Strange, Canberra's youngest player, may determine the team's premiership fate in NRL.
Canberra has risen to the top of the NRL ladder on the back of a new generation but it could be the youngest among them who holds their premiership fate in his hands.
Ethan Strange turned 21 over the club's bye weekend and the five-eighth is the youngest of the Raiders' regular first graders - even rookie dummy half Owen Pattie has a few months on him.
He's young enough that his teammates call him "The Kid" and shake their heads at some of the things he does. Kaeo Weekes, who's pretty familiar with the spectacular himself, says Strange "just does whatever he wants on the field".
