'I'm named after the town': Raiders speedster Kaeo Weekes to put on a show for the people of... Kaeo, NZ

Canberra Raiders' Kaeo Weekes will have hometown support from Kaeo during NRL clash against Warriors.

The Canberra Times

An away trip to New Zealand and a crowd full of Warriors fans cheering "Up the Wahs" won't feel so daunting for Canberra Raiders fullback Kaeo Weekes on Sunday.

That's because when the Raiders kick off their round 12 NRL clash against the Warriors, Weekes will have a whole town getting right behind him in Auckland.

Kaeo is a small township of approximately 300 people at the very top of North Island, and rolling down the highway on a nearly four-hour drive to Mount Smart Stadium will be friends and family of Raiders star, Weekes.
