Raiders re-sign young talent Ethan Strange, potential replacement for Jack Wighton, impressive performances.
The Raiders have locked in promising youngster Ethan Strange on a new deal that will keep him in Canberra until the end of the 2028 season, with the 19-year-old showing in the early rounds that he has the potential to be their long-term five-eighth.
There were huge question marks on who would replace veteran Jack Wighton after he joined the Rabbitohs in the off-season, but Strange has answered that in style with some classy performances in the opening six rounds.
Strange has come a long way since his debut when he was on the wrong end of a Melbourne Storm onslaught last year, with the teenager showing the form that saw him score a hat-trick for NSW in the under-19s State of Origin.
