The Canberra Raiders have made a bold move regarding the future of veteran halfback, Jamal Fogarty.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, the Raiders have turned down a request from Fogarty and his management to explore other options in the rugby league market.
Fogarty's situation at the Raiders is becoming quite the talking point in the NRL as the 2025 season progresses.
After a surprising departure from the Gold Coast Titans in 2021, Fogarty found a new home with the Raiders.
Despite being plagued by injuries, he has been a key player in the team when healthy.
However, things may be taking a turn in 2025 with the emergence of young gun Ethan Sanders from the Parramatta Eels.
Sanders, a former junior New South Wales representative, didn't leave Parramatta to sit on the bench, and it appears that both he and Fogarty share the same sentiment.
It's a classic case of youth vs experience, a tale as old as time in the world of rugby league.
Will Fogarty be able to hold onto his spot in the starting lineup, or will Sanders' talent and drive propel him into the spotlight? Only time will tell as the Raiders navigate this intriguing situation in the midst of the NRL season.
