HOT OFF THE PRESS: International arm-wrestle looms for the Strange siblings
After the dust settled on the 2024 Pacific Championships, a heated international standoff is on the horizon for one dynamic brother and sister duo tearing up the NRL and NRLW arenas.
Fresh off his debut season with the Canberra Raiders, Ethan Strange has proven himself as a rising star in the NRL ranks, with whispers already circulating that he could don the coveted sky-blue jersey for the NSW Blues in the near future.
Meanwhile, his sister Jasmin Strange, a seasoned Sydney Roosters NRLW powerhouse, has clinched back-to-back NRLW titles and consistently showcased her dominance whether starting on the field or coming off the bench.
Despite Ethan repping the U19s NSW Blues and Jasmin proudly representing the Maori All Stars, reports from the scrum suggest that these siblings are a rare breed with the ability to potentially play for any of the pinnacle nations in Rugby League - Australia, England, and New Zealand.
Born and bred in the land down under, the Stranges have the unique opportunity to sport the England jersey through their maternal lineage and don the black and white of New Zealand through their paternal roots.
The stage is set for a gripping international showdown for the Strange siblings as they navigate this new chapter in their Rugby League journey.
