If he asks the dolphins for 1.6m they will give it to him to become their first marquee..
Go to dolphins its his last contract take the cash son
Before this year I'd say do it but they do have OSullivan and the ex Penrith bloke at 6. Wighton is good but he's not 1.5 million good as a lock! He isn't Murray and that's twice as much as Murray is getting at Souths

I like Wighton but the timing and price aren’t right on this occasion. If he’s been offered $1.1mill by Canberra, he’s not going to sign elsewhere for under $900 grand, so that counts us out. Move on…

Hayne acting callous over text didn’t help him at all. Probably made that extra time field goal diffeeence in the end.
I know from experience with a friend of mine who I think was (mostly) guilty for sure but he acted smart

I’ll go one step further and say he doesn’t even look at another club unless they stump 1.2

And he'd be 31 by the time we got him.

The more and more i think about it, jack would make a very good running ball playing 13 like yeo and Murray, but has a shit load more individual talent than those 2 boys.
Doubt we could entice him though.
Upside can play 1 3. 4 6 and maybe a gun 13.
Not many can cover that many positions, killed qld in origin in the centres in 2021.

If the base bid is 1.1 then no thanks
Tigers licking their lips to offer him 1.5

Loose unit. No thanks.

Just one dumbfuckery moment away from ending his career.
I actually don’t mind when high psi’s players do dumb stuff

When you think about it it just gives the club pure control.

Imagine Napa.
He does dumb shit after yr 2 we can ping him for contract breach.
Basically it means if we want them we can keep them but if we don’t we can shed them. Big win

What is wrong with cold weather?

Firstly, Canberra isnt 'cold' at 15 degrees celsius, just colder than Sysney in Winter but actually warmer in Summer due to the fishbowl heat density as the city is in a valley.
Also who needs heat?
Just sunburn, wrinkles etc

give me freezing below zero weather plus moisturiser for the dryness anyday. If I was back in Lebanon ill be in the mountains

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?
Capped at whatever Flanno is on.
