Ethan Sanders is set to lead the Raiders as their new halfback in 2026, supported by Hudson Young, despite having limited NRL experience.
Hudson Young has appointed himself as Ethan Sanders bodyguard, not that Canberra's halfback needs it.
Sanders will be one of the most scrutinised players in the NRL this season when he's expected to be given first crack at replacing Jamal Fogarty as the Raiders' new No.7.
The 22-year-old has only played four NRL games across his time at Canberra and junior club Parramatta, but Sanders will be expected to hit the ground running as the Raiders look to build on winning last year's minor premiership.
Five-eighth Ethan Strange will move to the right side of the field with Sanders set to team up with the try-hungry Young on the left edge.
