Jack Wighton was in tears at full-time of the Raiders’ thrilling golden point victory over the Dolphins in Wagga Wagga on Saturday.
Wighton has endured an emotional week after telling teammates he was leaving the club at the end of the season after 14 years to join South Sydney.
The Canberra five-eighth’s decision was heavily scrutinised and copped racist abuse on social media, but Wighton responded in emphatic fashion with his performance against the Dolphins.
