Jamal Fogarty says Ricky Stuart made the call to move Jack Wighton to the centres

The Canberra Times

Canberra halfback Jamal Fogarty says coach Ricky Stuart didn't seek his advice before moving Dally M-winning five-eighth Jack Wighton to the centres on the eve of the finals series.

Fogarty and Wighton had struck up a positive partnership in the halves over the past 18 months before Stuart shook things up in August by handing Matt Frawley the No. 6 jersey.

Wighton, who will leave Canberra for South Sydney next year, has had to make do at centre - where he last played regularly for Canberra in 2014 - taking over the position from the dropped Jarrod Croker.
