Ricky Stuart has confirmed the Raiders - at both the playing group and administrative level - are doing everything in their power to retain Jack Wighton.

Stuart told the press conference after the Raiders' surprise win over the Brisbane Broncos on Saturday night that Wighton has a special relationship with plenty of personnel at the club, and that the Raiders don't want to lose the star five-eighth, who played for both the New South Wales Blues and Australian Kangaroos last year at the representative level.

"We are doing everything we possibly can to keep Jack. Jarrod [Croker] and myself, so many players have a very special relationship as a squad of players," Stuart said.
