I think he’d make a great 13 in our team. With him, Mahoney and Burton arou d him, Olopau could really learn his craft.

That said, he’ll go to QLD

We’ll see what he does. If he wants to win a comp he will come to Dogs. If he wants the money then he will stay at raiders.

But he will end up in a south QLD team. Apparently he just bought a family home in the Sunshine Coast.
Don’t blame him bro Canberra is freezing. Raise the family on the sunny coast much nicer.

I remember Gus saying we have money available for 1 more marquee signing for 2024. Wighton to the Dogs. Cmon Gus.

problem is Raider offering 1.1m a year and 4 years
he should take that and not look back, i think he will.

his family is there, he loves canberra, one club 300 game player, probably at max cap value. He should take it and shake a tree witout any ounce of masturbation

Gus mentioned on 100% footy that he thinks that Jack Wighton would make a very good lock forward.
He would be awesome for us playing lock at the right price.

So the question is how much do you think that Jack would be worth to play lock for us?
1. Not as much as Jack actually wants.

2. Also according to Gus, Jack doesn't want to play lock.

4 year contract extension offered by Raiders for $4.4million - he’ll obviously re-sign!

Close this thread down!

Close thread. No way he doesn't re-sign. Jack saying he was going to the open market was no different from Mitchell Moses making threats about leaving LOL.

His window winning a comp with Canberra is gone, he’s far better off taking his family to the warm weather up north and raking in more money over the same term in the process.

I won’t be surprised to hear his management use the Dolphins or another club to push Raiders to 1.2 … being his last contract & the fact Raiders can’t afford to lose him, this probably has a long way to run yet.

Allegedly he has been offered 1.3 million a year the only clubs that would offer that would be tigers or maybe dolphins

I can confirm that Jack will not move to Sydney, he hates the place. This comes from the horses mouth himself.

If he leaves Canberra he will end up in Brisbane where his soon to be wife has immediate family living.

Media are tipping Dolphins as his QLD option, but I honestly believe if he is leaving for glory & not the coin then I honestly can see him at the Broncos who are perfectly positioned in a premiership window.

With Farnworth leaving next year, Jack can easily play left centre in 2024 along side Reynolds in his last contracted season. Then in 2025 Jack plays 6 with Mam at 7.

But with Canberra now reportedly offering 4.4 over 4 years, I think it will be very hard for him to leave.

Lol I reckon the tigers could offer him 1.5 and he’d baulk.
