The jack wighton hype

[Valheru]

We signed a grand total of 0 players this year

Our past 2 seasons all we have signed is Havili and Chee Kam and lost Reynolds, Gagai, Su'A, Marshall, Nicholls, Paulo, etc

We have 4 jersey flegg players who aren't anywhere near FG in our top 30

Guys like Thompson, Milne and Tass are in our top 6 backs

We could easily fit him in, no worries at all

Issues would come when we need to upgrade guys we have developed like Graham, Koloamatangi, etc

You're starting to sound like a roosters fan, welcome to the dark side.

I'm not accusing you guys of cheating by the way, fact is souths are in the same position as roosters as to what they can offer and it's absolutely hilarious that a good portion for souths fans still see themselves as this battling workers club that develops its own players and never goes to market.

What are you talking about? The Burgess brothers grew up on the mean streets of Maroubra.

While GI will tell you about his youth in Redfern, Queensland.

Latrell is out of gas . Unfit. Lazy slob
You check out tonights game
Last 10 minutes. LazyTown defending
Just not up to NRL defence standards

Thanks for sharing your coherent thoughts in three different threads.

Souths as a club have this Victim mentality. Maybe getting kicked out for 2 years has changed there mindset.

But they should just embrace they are one of the big boys now and not get offended all the time.

The Roosters fans i know just laugh and chuckle anytime you mention uncle nick and salary cap. Water off a ducks back.

Souths told Jack he can have ice cream in their version of heaven.

He also gets to jubble Trell’s titties

Souths are just simply spending money freed up from mini retiring.

The salary cap in action.

 

[Chimp]

I’ve found my new favourite description of Wighton….. he’s Euan Aitken with a slightly better passing game.

The salary cap in action.

Well if the media reports are accurate, his contract will be backended, and also most of the players who were re-signed by Souths didn't have ratchet clauses in their contracts.

So medical retirement and salary cap exemption coming up then?

It’s called fair competition watching the a Tigers play geez they could use a player like him. Even South’s come out and said it would be hard to fit him under the cap.

Souths didn't add anyone to their top 30 for 2023 , the cap has gone up as well , Wightons deal will be back ended from 2026 with money souths will save from a few older players retiring

they can fit him in easily based on all of this
this salary cap rorting talk is nonsense

I enjoy the fact that Mike Cannon-Brookes could buy Nick Politis 10 times over.

Instead of "free" City Ford vehicles for relatives perhaps we'll see some family "get" lucrative positions at Atlassian? Or a "job" with Crown? Or a "role" in Hollywood?

Big end of town, baby. Woot woot.

I remember a certain pass from Wighton to Aitken.
