The jack wighton hype

[Pistol_Pete]

Can someone explain how this clown is talked up for origin ??

He's a f**king nuffy in the Matt Gafa mould.

He's Blake Ayshford like in quality

 

[MrAnonymous]

He has had one bad half. He must be shit.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Good player usually,tonight he got the Wazns

 

[Pistol_Pete]

How is he mentioned as a rep player when someone like Nofoaluma isn't is beyond me. Nofoaluma has him covered in every facet of the game and has made half the errors in one season that this Matt Gafa clone has made in 40 minutes

 

[Iafeta]

He was a very, very good player... prior to Ricky Stuart trying to make him into a plodder # 6. Should have been left in the centres, he looked a good talent there.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Simona or Walker much better.

His 'skill' and 'ability' is like the lochness monster.

Everybody has heard about it, but has anyone actually seen it?

I'd take Chris walker ahead of wighton

I don't particularly rate the kid, but Ayshford and Gafa are on a whole different level of spastic.

Not watching the game now but Wighton seems a promising player. Needs to play one position instead of being moved around.

Jarrod Croker on the other hand is total shit imo. Horrible defence and extremely overrated.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Wighton is a good player,Ricky Stuart could turn Lebron James into spam

 

[Pete Cash]

He is a solid player but doesn't deserve the wraps he has yet. He has a fair bit of potential but potential doesn't pay the bills (although he does get paid either way). I wonder if he might have a bit of a shitty attitude which can't help but he does do some stuff ok. Like he put an absolute hit on Burgess when we played Souths absolutely belted him.

Nail on the head.

I have been wondering where all the hype has been coming from too. Yet to see him as anything more than an average first grader.

Canberra talking up this Cornish Neville like he's the second coming of Joey johns. 3 times in 10 minutes he's died with the ball on the last on the Brisbane line. Another nuffy that Canberra fans talk up as they cling to the hope that anyone who isn't a steaming turd could be the next immortal. See, zillman - w

 

[Charlie124]

He's a good player that Ricky will turn into an average one, that or he'll come to his senses and leave Canberra at the first opportunity.

Better yet, the raiders board will come to their senses and sack Ricky, themselves and half the playing roster and whighton will stay and become a great player.

Comparing a winger to a centre.
Derp.

 

[Wizardman]

He has been absolute shit this year...not helped by Ricky playing him at 6. He has been pretty handy in the past though.

 

[Packy]

He's talked up nearly as much as Chris Lawrence. Hasn't fallen to Lawrence's level yet though

 

[skeepe]

I make all my judgements about a player's skill level on one game in isolation too.

f**king moron.

 

[Johns Magic]

Watch from the 3 minute mark of this video to the end.

He was given an absolute bath three times within five minutes to allow the unthinkable to happen. For someone who is talked up like some gun defender it's pretty embarrassing.
