The point was his Raiders contract does NOT allow it. His South’s contract has a clause in it to allow.
That would be his current deal, I'm sure the Raiders would've been accommodating if that was the only impediment to him staying or going.

Interesting comments from Weedler in his column today. There is a suggestion that Wighton is going to be free to contest a “boxing event” managed by Georgie Rose that will allow him to earn a few hundred grand extra meaning he doesn’t lose a cent.
An innovative way to skirt the cap if true.
We are already all over that ... junior paulo had a crack

It's an interesting sideline for a bloke with a record for assault occasioning actual bodily harm arising from an unprovoked drunken assault.

Crazy and weird that 3 of the top 8 have a negative F+A

we have the 5th best in the comp
Been intrigued by this as well. It feels like the draw has been set up to give those bottom 8 teams from the last couple of years the best chance to succeed in the early part of the year. It seems deliberate. We're now heading in to the middle third of the season where some slow starting teams will make up ground. At least that's what it feels like....

Theres more chance of Peter Brock signing your tits Stevie than of Jack Wighton getting a few hundred grand from a boxing match.

Buzz is a f**kwit. He’s talking about when the Dogs had two points deducted AND then scored a try when they had 14 on the field. Meanwhile..

22k seems the benchmark.

Did we win that day

I like you mate. But are you really suggesting in an ethical sport like boxing that there couldn’t be a deal struck for a good paying fight?
Why do you think footy hacks fight?

Cause they're stupid and they want to prove how tough they are. I just couldn't see Wighton attracting enough PPV to get a payday of several hundred grand. And I like you too mate. Make sure you come and say hello next time you are staying in Vincentia.
