The news comes as a huge surprise, especially after Weekes had recently become an important figure in the Raiders’ attacking lineup.
Weekes, known for his explosive pace, sharp footwork, and attacking instincts, has been one of the most exciting players to watch in the Raiders squad. His performances at fullback have helped spark several key attacking plays for the team this season, making his potential departure even more shocking for supporters.
A club spokesperson from the Canberra Raiders released a brief statement saying:
“We are aware of discussions regarding Kaeo Weekes’ future at the club. While no final decision has been confirmed, we respect the player’s right to consider his options and will continue internal discussions in the coming days.”
Fans quickly reacted across social media, with many expressing disbelief that the rising star could be preparing to walk away from the team at such a crucial time in the season.
Meanwhile, Raiders head coach Ricky Stuart is expected to address the media soon to clarify the situation and discuss what the potential departure could mean for the club’s lineup moving forward.
