Canberra star Elliott Whitehead has conceded the constant positional switching of players at the club has become frustrating.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has been forced to tinker with his NRL side as a result of being without injured captain Jarrod Croker and suspended fullback Jack Wighton.
Whitehead says he would prefer to play in the back row but will again sacrifice his favourite position by featuring in the centres against the Sydney Roosters on Sunday.
Nick Cotric, who burst into contention for a State of Origin debut as a winger, has slotted into the No.1 jersey in Wighton's absence.
But he has been moved back to the wing for the clash with the Roosters, leaving Brad Abbey to cover fullback.
Stuart said after Sunday's 22-20 loss to Wests Tigers that Wighton was as important to Canberra as retiring great Billy Slater is to Melbourne.
Joseph Leilua has been the one dependable in the centres, but Croker's spot has been a revolving door since he was injured in round 17 with Blake Austin and Whitehead being used in his place.
Austin will be back at five-eighth this weekend, partnering with Sam Williams in the halves as Aidan Sezer recovers from a hamstring injury.
The Raiders' disastrous 0-4 start to the season can be partly contributed to being without star hooker Josh Hodgson as Siliva Havili found his feet at No.9.
"I'd prefer to play backrow but if he (Stuart) wants me to play centre then I will," Whitehead said.
"A little bit frustrating for me. I feel like I was finding some good form in the back-row then I have to play a different position.
"If I have to do that for the team and that's the best for the team then I'm willing to do that."
Despite leading the competition for most points scored, the Raiders' finals hopes are dead as they sit 10th on the ladder with an 8-13 record.
If Canberra maintain their record as the best attacking team, they will become the first side in NRL/NSWRL history to score the most points in a season and miss the finals.
Whitehead says they will fight out the last three games of the campaign, starting with a home match against the ladder-leading Roosters.
"(The Roosters) are playing some good footy at the moment and they're going to want to come down here and stay on top of the table," Whitehead.
"For us we'll at least try to knock them off and use it as a little bit of motivation to show everyone what we are capable of."
