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.
