'Stuart and Daley': Great's huge praise for rookies; Dragons sign international forward - NRL Daily
Billy Slater praised rookie Ethan Sanders for his pivotal role in Canberra's win, likening him to his own coach.
Melbourne Storm legend and Queensland Maroons coach Billy Slater has offered the highest level of praise to Canberra Raiders rookie Ethan Sanders, likening him to his coach back in his playing days.
Sanders played his much-awaited first game of the year in the No.7 jersey for the green machine on Saturday night in their 29-28 golden point win over the Manly Sea Eagles at Brookvale Oval, crucially slotting the winning field goal in extra time.
He came up with the clutch moment as former Raiders halfback Jamal Fogarty made his official club debut for Manly, watching the youngster ice the game on the other side.

They say the best mentors see things in individuals that they themselves can't - and thankfully for Roosters and NSW Blues fans, that exactly what Ricky Stuart did for an up-and-coming Anthony Minichiello.
The legendary Roosters and NSW fullback has paid tribute to the current Raiders coach for instilling him with the belief that he was born to be a No.1, after playing the majority of his junior career in the centres.
In tonight's Face to Face episode on Fox League, Minichiello recounts the Rooster's 2002 premiership year, when then-new head coach Stuart was forced to make a call on fullback between Mini and prodigious Broncos transfer Justin Hodges.
"They made a change and Ricky Stuart came in as coach. He said 'everyone thinks the Roosters are the soft underbelly, the latte boys and all that'. We're going to be the fittest team in the NRL," Minichiello recalled to Face to Face host Jake Duke.
