The Canberra Times

Parramatta appear unlikely to make a serious play for Canberra's Jack Wighton as coach Brad Arthur continues his search for players to bolster the Eels' roster.

Wighton told the Raiders last month he would test the open market for 2024 before deciding whether to take up a player option in his current contract and remain at Canberra.

A State of Origin player and recipient of both the Dally M and Clive Churchill Medals, Wighton will command above or around a seven-figure salary on his next contract, which could be his last given he turns 31 before the 2024 season begins.
