For the most part, Canberra Raiders fans have been understanding about Jack Wighton's decision to test the NRL market.
They said they'd be content, even if it meant Wighton leaving for more money or a lifestyle change. They said Wighton would always be a Raider, even if he was playing for someone else.
But that all changed on Wednesday. Wighton was linked to the South Sydney Rabbitohs, then a report emerged speculating he was close to committing to a $3.4 million deal to join the famous club.
