Eels recruit Morgan Harper has backed former Sea Eagles teammate Kaeo Weekes to make the Raiders' five-eighth position his own in 2024.
The pair faced off last weekend for the first time since departing the Sea Eagles at the end of 2023, with Weekes' move to Canberra fuelled by the opportunity to lock down a starting role and play consistently at NRL level.
Weekes impressed in his first outing in lime green, and Harper believes his speed and tenacity will put the 21-year-old into serious calculations to secure the No.6 jersey for the Raiders' opening round trip to Newcastle.
