  • The subtle change Eighth Immortal Andrew Johns wants Raiders young gun to make

    David Polkinghorne

    Andrew Johns suggested Ethan Strange shift to right edge, adjusting ball-handling for improved performance after four games this season.

    He's the Eighth Immortal for a reason. So when Andrew Johns speaks, you listen.

    And it seems Ethan Strange already has, with the boom Canberra Raiders five-eighth having already started work on a slight tweak to his game that Johns suggested.

    Strange has shifted from the left edge to the right this season, to allow Ethan Sanders to come in on the left at halfback.

    The 21-year-old hasn't quite had the same attacking impact yet this season - albeit after only four games.

    Ricky Stuart pinpoints Raiders ‘problem’ after Sharks defeat

    Canberra Raiders start 2026 season poorly, with one win and three losses after a 34-22 defeat to Cronulla Sharks.

    Zero Tackle

    The Canberra Raiders have endured a frustrating start to their 2026 campaign, slipping to one win and three losses after a 34-22 defeat to the Cronulla Sharks on Sunday afternoon.

    It marks a stark contrast to last year's minor premiers, who have struggled to find consistency in the opening month of the season.

    Their latest setback was shaped early, with prop Corey Horsburgh sin-binned in just the third minute.

    The early dismissal proved costly, as Canberra conceded 12 points during his absence and was forced to chase the game from the outset.

    St George-Illawarra Dragons

    The Roosters last played a perfect game without penalties 30 years ago, impacting rugby league rules.

    Wide World of Sports

    You have to go back 30 years to the last time the Roosters had a 'perfect' game, failing to give away a penalty.

    And the game in which they did it ended up changing the rules of rugby league.

    The year was 1996 and the Roosters were up against the Broncos at the old Sydney Football Stadium.

    The loss on Thursday night was the final nail in Anthony Seibold's coffin and the luckless coach will lament that referee Wyatt Raymond didn't give the home side a single penalty in 80 minutes.
