It's one of the hardest things Jack Wighton's had to do - take good mate Jarrod Croker's place in the Canberra Raiders centres.
Croker was full of praise for how Wighton's played in the centres the past fortnight, but Wighton said his co-captain was such a "gentleman" he'd give him a rap even if he was "shit".
"That was a hard one you know [taking Croker's spot]," Wighton said.
"I would've loved to see him finish every game here. It wasn't my decision to go into the centres and I just did what I was told.
"I hated it, but it was out of my hands. I was just doing what I was told."
