We have no backline spot for him to play in 2024, no way he is playing on the wing, we have centres covered with Alamoti, Averillo and Xerri, we have fullback covered with Crichton and 5/8 covered with Burton. IF (that's a big if) CC & Gould did actually speak to him then I think lock would be the only position that we could use him in. Which is possibly what they pitched to him to judge his response. These days lock is really a spine position and justifies a decent contracts as such.
Personally I think Wighton would make a killer ball playing and running lock, certainly an important piece that we are currently missing.
