Jack Wighton is poised to join the NRL's million-dollar club should he pen a new deal with Canberra, and his teammates maintain he'd be worth every penny.

Wighton shocked many when he declined a player option for 2024 to test the open market, but the Raiders have moved quickly to try and lock up their best player by reportedly offering him a four-year contract worth $4.4 million.
