Canberra star Jack Wighton has faced a panel of Aboriginal Elders, who will make a recommendation over his sentencing #9news @9NewsAUS

Funny that when you bash people that people lose respect for you.
**** me, what an absolute child.

Everyone is riding you about the 'situation'? The situation is you got drunk and attacked people.

The **** nerve of this deadbeat scumbag to try to play the victim card. I am going to find it exceedingly difficult to cheer for any team he's named in.

Boy the ACT courts are harsh
$2700 for a guy who earns 750k and 2 months suspended sentence.
He’ll learn his lesson from this for sure

Does the court take into account the NRL punishment when handing down it’s fine? If not, then the NRL fine is monstrous. If so, then maybe that’s a reason for the slap with a wet lettuce leaf.

$2700. That's what an entitled **** on $800k gets for a series of drunken assaults, and illustrating that he hasn't changed from the experience.

Or, 0.34% of his annual salary.

That'll definitely make him think twice about his actions. Or, I dunno, it'll further re-enforce his beliefs that he was the victim and he's bulletproof. But what would I know? I'm not a footy player player who gets to play the victim in the media for my activities.

We came with high hopes. We return with a fullback who still has no idea where to position himself for kicks after 4 seasons in the position despite being paid like he is Gary Belcher 2.0.

CCTV footage of Canberra Raiders Jack Wighton's assaults tendered in court

Canberra Raiders fullback Jack Wighton stumbles out a Civic nightclub early one February morning.

CCTV footage of the next 20 minutes shows Wighton urinate in the street and assault five men in three separate incidents, including one fan who appeared to just want to shake the NRL star's hand.

He was fined $3500, received a two month suspended jail sentence and was placed on a one-year good-behaviour bond over the incidents.

Read more and see the CCTV footage: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/nationa ... 50fwa.html

I expected worse tbh. His mate should've probably been in court as well.

Agree. Certainly not worth jail time.

He'd struggle to beat Fergo in the ring.

Holy ****. That's worse than I thought it would be.

I am gobsmacked, and appalled, that the Raiders have decided to back him to the hilt. I really don't know if I can follow a club that has been so supportive of this. If my workplace condoned actions like that of its employees, I'd find another employer.

And before anyone calls me a **** fan, tells me to **** off and you don't need me anyway, the thing that I am just the most disgusted about is that they saw this footage, said 'this is our guy', and tried to sweep it under the rug with a Bull six week ban.

I just really don't know about this club anymore.

The explanation of what he did sounds a lot worse than what I just watched. Pretty piss weak in the end really.

I'd say his punishment fits the crime. Jacky boi continues to get paid..

What did you expect to see? On the spectrum of possible assaults under the charges that's nowhere near as bad as it could be.

Certainly Jack did not deserve jail time for that incident. It might have got a bit beyond push and shove we see in just about every NRL game, but barely. From here I hope Jack receives the help he needs to get his life on track off field, and comes back fit and ready to go in Round 1 2019.

I hope he never sees a Raiders jersey again and I will wish that every day to whoever the hell is listening in the hope that comes true.

I must say, I was expecting haymakers and and all out brawl.

It's still unacceptable, but yeah I'm in the "wow I was expecting much worse" camp.
