‘I felt for Jack’: Stuart ‘pissed off’ by Wighton move, says NRL contracting system is ‘flawed’

Fox League

Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has spoken on Jack Wighton’s future move to the Rabbitohs, saying he “understands the decision” but was initially “really pissed off”.

Wighton ended weeks of speculation on Tuesday, when it was announced
he would join Souths on a four-year deal from the 2024 season
, turning down much richer offers from both the Raiders and the Dolphins.

Stuart said he was “really pissed off” that Wighton decided to move on stating that if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t “care about the club or Jack and I care about both of those.”
