Wighton rumours heat up as 'fantastic' option emerges.

Posted by LB on April 1, 2023 at 6:14pm

It is not gossip per say but Ryan Girdler has mentioned that he think Wighton to Parramatta would instantly make us a threat. Well yeah, he is an Origin player, even better at Centre. Only issues are price and compensation. Let's say Wighton wants to come to Parramatta this year, Canberra would want someone of not immediately, Waqa Blake wouldn't cut yet i believe he would be one we offer up. I have never been against having Wighton as he is super talented, just was a bit here and there due to it being somewhat unrealistic. Is it as unrealistic as first believed? I mean sort of but not as much as first thought. If i had to pick i reckon he stays at Canberra squeezing more coin out of them.

    I dont have a problem, but the only reason he is moving away from Canberra could have two reasons.

    1. He wants to win a premiership - Then we are in the running

    2. If hes given up on that dream then its all about the money. - Dolphins

     

    My guess he will look like a vanilla flavoured coke.

      Added to that BE, does he want to play Five-Eighth? Or is he happy playing Centre?

      Added to that, Dolphins offer upside in that they have money to offer, the lifestyle up there is great with weather and ocean, plus they have Wayne Bennett, they could make the 8 in 2024 with him there and challenge.

      He is also best as a right Centre, where does Waqa play? Right Centre.

      I wonder if Ricky is a bitter type to let Wighton leave out spite 😂😂😂

        Waqa plays left centre 

        • Blue Eel > Billy Bob April 1, 2023 at 7:32pm

          Actually I dont think Waqa plays - he shows up, and we will have his $550k to share around

          • Billy Bob > Blue Eel April 1, 2023 at 7:34pm

            Well that is true mate 

        • LB > Billy Bob April 1, 2023 at 8:17pm

          Yes you are right, my apologies I'm out of it a little tonight.

      • ParraPride > LB April 2, 2023 at 1:24am

        He plays left centre, but he doesn't know how to play..

    • Gaz Nelson April 1, 2023 at 8:23pm

      Yep... agree, centre is his position at the eels. But he'll want to much money for a centre. In our side, with the coverage he'd provide for injuries I think he's worth overs though. Also think we'd be premiership material once lanes back. 

      • LB > Gaz Nelson April 1, 2023 at 9:15pm

        Well he can play Fullback if need to also.
