NRL: A candid Wally Lewis has opened up on some of the hardships he experiences on a daily basis, as a result of living with probable CTE.
Four debutants will feature in Round 8, with the Eels handing one of the game’s best rising playmakers his first NRL jersey.
However, against the Sharks in Round 7 he only played 32 minutes and failed to make an impact in the middle. Then in 2024, that figure has dropped to 35 minutes per game, and ultimately led to Taumalolo being replaced in the front row by Griffin Neame. Just like the Knights need Kalyn Ponga, who earns around $1.4 million per-season, to deliver, the Cowboys need their marquee star to stand tall.
Coach Craig Fitzgibbon has turned to the versatile Daniel Atkinson to fill in at six this week. Atkinson has played NRL games – one of them being off the bench this season. It means the Raiders’ halves combination of Weekes and Ethan Strange will have a total of 20 games between them this weekend.The big concern for the Raiders now though is what’s the next move if the Strange-Weekes combination doesn’t work out?Or perhaps Canberra will be able to lure young half Ethan Sanders – who they’ve reportedly signed on a three-year deal – to the club earlier. Ironically, Sanders has been named to make his NRL debut this week for the Eels.
The 19-year-old has played seven NSW Cup games to date, all at halfback, but has been named in the No.6 jersey alongside Dylan Brown. Brendan Hands has also been recalled to take the dummy-half pressure off Joey Lussick, while Makahesi Makatoa will play his first NRL game this year.Three NRL debutants will be unleashed in Round 8 with David Armstrong to play fullback for the Knights, Solomon Alaimalo to play on the wing for the Wests Tigers and Zyon Maiu’u, who joins the Warriors’ bench.
