Ricky Stuart is at ease with his star five-eighth Jack Wighton testing the NRL's open market, but hopes he remembers what the club has done for his career when signing his next contract.
Canberra's Wighton sent shockwaves through the competition when he declined a player option for 2024 in favour of assessing external offers, with reports suggesting at least 10 clubs have already made contact with his management.
But Stuart, who's consistently talked about his admiration of Wighton, says he's got every right to test the market and find his worth as the 30-year-old seeks a longer-term deal.
