Player Jack Wighton

[QueenslandRabbit]

He is our only Dally M winner in 40 years - So I fail to see how he would improve our side to the point of being a championship contender playing Centre.

I genuinely think it's a waste and he must play 6 (or/7)

I know their is that small gap in the market there but it's not like our team is performing within the current formation we have presently.

I just think it's a giant waste.

I'd have Cody/Jack halves - We need our best players touching the ball, the most - Not one catching a cold on the flank that will get a spurt of traffic then nothing.

What Lachlan is doing at 7 even being considered as a specialist halfback is NOT a better option than having a Dally M half playing there, even if Jack isn't an amazing long kicker - There is ways around that, Bring in Mamouzelos at 9 and bring that Farah energy and kicking out of DH.

My thoughts on that are that young Tass was basically ineffective outside if Cody. So many chances got wasted.
I don’t see that happening with Jack and yes, Tass will get better in a few years

In my opinion this is one of the strangest and silliest recruitment decisions the club has made in a very long time. Don’t know why we really need him doesn’t thinks our problems we currently have in the squad which is go forward with strong outstanding prop forwards that lay a platform

I reckon the best fit for Jack would be Fullback.

I just didn't consider it because Mitchell won't be moved but if it were to happen, it means we don't have to rush Munro there and we can play the world's best centre, at centre.

People are saying move Tass on the wing which I am a bit worried with as I haven’t seen how he goes under the high ball and the good halfbacks I think would make him a easy target also moving Tass or Aj might hurt our attack in the long run.

 

[TylerBunny]

I honestly think he is a massive signing for us and has that explosiveness we have missed out wide. I also believe he is the man that can bring the best out of Trell. He won’t be scared to say it how it is.

 

[vonzipper]

Think kicking game might be an issue, noting that it's not great at the moment either. A few tough calls to come.

Did you watch much of the Raiders this year?

The Raiders had one of the easiest draws in the comp, yet still were one of the worst attacking teams during the regular season.

It was telling that Stuart moved him into the centres for their last round match and finals match.

It was more to do with Wighton leaving and the Raiders looking to the future.

 

[Rabbitoh_For_Life]

No offence but that makes no sense at all because the guy who played five-eighth in those matches was Matt Frawley and he's leaving the Raiders to play for Leeds Rhinos.

We need him cuz he won’t slaughter a hundred chances like Tass did

 

[Magaoidh]

Old Jack should be good for a year or too!
How long did we sign him for?

Johnston slaughtered quite a few as well.

It really does suck buying a representative player.
