Ethan Sanders secured victory for the Raiders with a surprise golden-point field goal, showcasing his skills in just his fifth NRL game.
Ethan Sanders waited patiently to inherit Canberra's No.7 jersey, but he's grabbed his moment to announce himself to the NRL in a hurry.
Two years after he left Parramatta to become the Raiders' halfback heir-apparent, the 22-year-old made the starting job his own with a match-winning field goal to sink Manly at Brookvale Oval on Saturday night.
In a play that seemed to catch all involved off-guard, Sanders, in just his fifth NRL outing, had no qualms firing a 35-metre drop goal with the Raiders' first set in golden point in an instinctive play that earned them the 29-28 win.
