Ronald William Saddler is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1960s and 70s. A New South Wales and Australian international representative three-quarter back, he played in Sydne's NSWRFL Premiership for the Eastern Suburbs club. Originally from Tweed Heads, Saddler played for Sydney club Eastern Suburbs in the years 1963-64 and 1966-71. An Aboriginal centre, Saddler was selected for the 1967/68 Kangaroo Tour, playing in 12 matches, but no tests. Saddler has been allocated Eastern Suburbs player number 529. He was the first indigenous player captain New South Wales - 6 years before Arthur Beetson. Ron Saddler's former Sydney Roosters teammate Kevin Junee, another 1967-1968 Kangaroo, said "Saddler got the nod as the Blues captain in 1967 because he was respected by teammates and opponents alike". Upon his retirement from Sydney, he captain-coached Murwillumbah Brothers for a number of years in the 1970s. He still resides in the Murwillumbah Area.
