Ethan Strange praises Ethan Sanders for his calm play and strong start, despite facing scrutiny as a new halfback for Canberra.
Ethan Strange feels his heavily scrutinised halves partner Ethan Sanders is playing as if he's got 300 games under his belt in the NRL.
Canberra's halves pairing has been under the microscope ever since Jamal Fogarty left for Manly and was replaced by seven-cap Sanders at halfback.
The pair have got off to a good start with Sanders scoring the winning field goal in their 29-28 victory over the Sea Eagles in round one, while Strange has continued his push for State of Origin consideration with his blistering runs and intense physicality.
"I always say he's (Sanders) played 200 or 300 games already. He's so calm and collected," Strange said on Friday.
