Obviously, he didn't feature in this one, but I think Ethan Sanders, he just gets better and better each week.

I personally thought Kobe Black would take his spot for seven or eight weeks.

He's been great, Ethan Sanders.

I'm really enjoying watching him play his footy, and I think there is...

A big part of Ricky Stewart that understands the long-term plan here, and I think that's got to do with Owen Paddy keeping him in reserve grades, just sticking with Ethan Sanders, letting him learn shit each and every week.

Yeah, I think Ricky is looking entirely long-term.

Yep.

And I think Ricky finds himself in a very unique spot where he can feel that way because the Raiders are, and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way by any means, but they are like an enormous country football club.

It's a good thing.

It's 100% a good thing.

And I don't know if you've done any content with them or anything.

I've done a little bit over the years.

And when you're there, it's a different feel to other NRL clubs.

It is a completely different feel the way they do things.

and all that sort of stuff.

And it's why we always say it's so hard for them to get guys down there, but once they're fucking there, they don't leave.

Because they love it down there.

And I think Ricky has got the confidence that, okay, I could rebuild here for a year or two and I know Canberra and the people in charge there will back me.

go out and find someone else to build what I've built.

Because Raiders fans understand.
