Wighton on Tuesday admitted he was a little shocked when Stuart shifted him from fullback into the halves as Sam Williams’ injury replacement for Saturday’s 21-20 loss to Cronulla.

“It was still pretty similar to the way I play fullback, except he needed me to do a little bit more organisation – but I don’t know if I did that,” said the 22-year-old.
