Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has broken his silence after his club’s failure to hold onto star half Jack Wighton,
who gave up nearly $1 million to sign with South Sydney for the next four years.

The Raiders have reportedly
lodged a formal complaint
with NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo over the deal.
