Marquee player values over past five years

If we said 5 years we had over a million dollars to offer a marquee player, we would almost have the pick of the league to lure any star player to Canberra in any position and not have too much competition. Today we have the same sort of money to lure a replacement for a spine player and can't seem ...

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

Wighton is as good as gone. He has tested the market and knows his $$ value in the market now. We have offered an increase which would be in line with any other offer out there. Dolphins would have to have their salary cap out of whack if they offer more. If he hasn't taken the Raiders deal by now h...

Re: Canberra Raiders five eighth Jack Wighton retires from representative football

Re: Jack Wighton targeted by Redcliffe, to test the open market for 2024

For my 2 cents, even with all the money in the world or even a $1.2 million a season, the Dolphins have shown that it is not that easy to land a marquee player particularly to Canberra, so I say just pay the money he is looking for and move on. He is a current SOO and Australian test player. If we c...
