The pair had been out celebrating Wighton’s 30th birthday when they are alleged to have engaged in a fight described by witnesses as a friendly wrestle.

Police have since confirmed they were called to the scene and both men were arrested.

Mitchell was charged with resisting arrest. Wighton was charged with fighting in a public place and the pair are likely to face court in the ACT.

Storm in a tea cup....It would be a bigger story if a Dogs player was involved!!! Watch it get swept under the carpet. NO Dog NO Story.

There’s nightclubs in Canberra ? That’s the most amazing thing about this story

‘why were they arrested for a friendly wrestle … wtf is that ? Some kind of JO toilet altercation?

Waiting for the video ref.

I suspect that it won't depict a "friendly wrestle".

In my observations, cops tend to give drunken fools plenty of opportunity to disperse voluntarily before they go hands on.

The total charges levelled against Latrell equates to over 11 years… therefore, the No fault stand down should be held enabled.

Nothing story. No harm done other than to their egos. The NRL won't and shouldn't do anything about it. But I agree, there'd be more made of it in the media if they were Bulldogs players or certain other players were involved.

And has any other team been docked points or fined when they had an extra player, for some reason we are the club they like to make the example off

Mitchell is also charged with affray which is a very serious charge & can mean time.
And having a very recent fire arms offence &12 months conditional release order won't help, even if in NSW.
Rusty will sort. Although they are also busy sorting out Burgess's little problem.
