Kaeo Weekes impresses in Canberra Raiders debut, aims for better performance in upcoming match.
Kaeo Weekes had big boots to fill when he made his Canberra Raiders debut after halfback Jamal Fogarty's biceps injury, but the green playmaker has fit right into his role - and his boots have everything to do with it.
Weekes was a standout in last weekend's Magic Round win over the Bulldogs, with one try assist, six tackle breaks, 27 tackles and a monster 607 kicking metres.
Preparing for an even bigger test against the Sydney Roosters at Canberra Stadium on Saturday, Weekes is hungry for an improved performance to his last game at home, a 40-0 thumping from the Sharks in what was his first Raiders start.
