The Jack Wighton contract saga is set to ignite debate about salary transparency, with the Canberra Raiders star facing a choice between perceived premiership success and becoming a million-dollar player.
South Sydney chief executive Blake Solly confirmed the Rabbitohs' interest in luring Wighton to the historic club.
The Raiders tabled their $4.4 million, four-year Wighton offer with the NRL to ensure there was transparency around the situation so they couldn't be low-balled by other offers.
