Jack Wighton hit with contrary conduct charge over ugly comment towards referee
Canberra Raiders star Jack Wighton has been charged with contrary conduct after comments to referee Peter Gough that he was trying to help the Wests Tigers. The Raiders narrowly escaped an embarrassing loss to the Tigers on Sunday, with Wighton making a try-saving tackle in the corner in the final seconds.
However the Bunker ruled that Wighton had made high contact with Starford To'a, which resulted in a penalty and one last chance for the Tigers to win it. The Raiders managed to hold on, but Wighton has landed himself in hot water as a result.
