Jamal Fogarty predicts Ethan Sanders will excel as Canberra Raiders' future No.7 halfback.
Former Canberra Raiders halfback Jamal Fogarty has tipped rising youngster Ethan Sanders to be his replacement in the halves for the 2026 NRL season and has backed him to make the No.7 jersey his own.
Since Ricky Stuart's debut for the club in 1988, the No.7 at the Raiders has become one of the most coveted jerseys to wear, considering its illustrious history.
Now, that job will fall to last year's Under-19s NSW Blues halfback Ethan Sanders who has been destined for big things ever since he appeared on the rugby league stage at a young age.
Asked if he thinks Sanders can make the No.7 jersey his own, Forgarty, who led the side to the minor premiership and second week of the finals series, replied "definitely" without any hesitation.
