League icon Andrew Johns believes Canberra's Jack Wighton may have to take a significant pay cut if he wants to achieve his goal of winning a premiership with another NRL club.
The 2020 Dally M Medallist blew the player market wide open on Tuesday when news broke he will explore other options for next season.
Speaking on Wide World of Sports' Freddy and the Eighth, Johns unpacked Wighton's motivation to leave Canberra despite being reported to earn $900,000 next season if he stays.
"There's talk that he wants to live in Queensland," Johns said.
"If he wants to win a premiership, he'll have to take three or four (hundred) thousand dollars."
