THE Jack Wighton contract situation has certainly made plenty of clubs get the calculators out and start number crunching.
For the record we’ve said all along it’s a two-horse race between the Canberra Raiders and the Dolphins for the services of the NSW Origin and Australian centre.
The Bulldogs pitch was an interesting one – they’ve come up with the concept of playing Wighton at lock.
Of course the Wests Tigers came flying in off the top turn buckle with an offer starting at $1.3 million per season but it’s hard to see Wighton wanting to go down the Concord road at this point of his career.
The Parramatta Eels and the New Zealand Warriors are the other two clubs who’ve come in heavily.
In reality it’ll most likely come down to a battle between the Canberra Raiders and the Dolphins.
