Canberra Raiders are promoting Ethan Sanders to replace departing halfback Jamal Fogarty in 2026.
The Canberra Raiders are set to continue the youth policy that delivered them the minor premiership last season by offering inexperienced Ethan Sanders first shot at filling their halfback vacancy in 2026.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart needs to settle on a replacement for departing playmaker Jamal Fogarty, who has joined Manly after four seasons and 77 games with the Green Machine.
Stuart said Sanders, who played two games for Canberra this year after joining from Parramatta, was ready to stake his claim to partner Kangaroo Ethan Strange at the scrum-base in 2026.
