Re: Raiders offer Jack Wighton a four year $4.4 million deal

I agree. I hope he goes somewhere else too. We win more games without him for a reason and it ain't because frawley is some superstar. He was lucky to be on 800k.

Cameron Ciraldo would be my first preference coming from a good system at Penrith. Added bonus the inside knowledge he'd have on the juniors coming through hopefully persuade a few to follow the same as Trent Barret did when he left.
