Wish:ย U19s NSW Blues players shine

Over the past few seasons, the Raiders has undergone a serious rebuild, which saw them say farewell to several veterans while building their squad around younger talent.

Former skipper Elliot Whitehead, ex-Dally M Medal winnerย Jack Wighton, veteran point-scorer Jarod Croker andย New Zealandย internationalย Jordan Rapanaย are just a few players who have departed the nation's capital in the past two seasons.

Ricky Stuart will now need to rely on his U19s NSW Blues representatives - Chevy Stewart, Ethan Sanders, Ethan Strange, Jake Clydsdale, Myles Martin, Noah Martin and Savelio Tamale - as he looks towards the future.

The seven players are the future of the club for the foreseeable future and fans will get their first glimpse of most of them next season with high-praise on former Eels halfback Ethan Sanders.
