Brad Arthur: Sanders stays at Parramatta, debuts against Manly in place of Asi, replacing Moses.
Brad Arthur says there is no chance Ethan Sanders will move to Canberra early, insistent the teenage half has told him he will see out 2024 at Parramatta.
Sanders will debut against Manly on Friday night, after Arthur wielded the axe and dropped Daejarn Asi in the wake of the Eels' 44-16 capitulation to the Dolphins in Darwin in round seven.
Sanders is the third man in five weeks to fill in for Parramatta in the halves, as Arthur battles to replace the injured Mitch Moses.
