Former Queensland Origin playmaker Ben Ikin says the Raiders will reap the long-term benefits by persevering with Jack Wighton at five-eighth, but adds he's ''a way off'' nailing the position.
Ikin, who commentated Canberra's 26-12 loss to Newcastle for Fox Sports on Sunday, urged the Raiders to resist the temptation for change despite their disorganisation in attack against the Knights.
Canberra (2-4) have lost six straight games at home, and are desperate to erase the demons of last year's 68-4 loss to Melbourne when they host the Storm at Canberra Stadium on Easter Sunday.
Wighton has shifted from centre to No.6 under new coach Ricky Stuart this season, while Terry Campese moved to halfback, and Ikin is convinced the Raiders' patience will eventually be rewarded.
