Canberra coach Ricky Stuart has praised Jack Wighton's transformation from looking at a potential jail stint to becoming a State of Origin winner in the space of 20 months.
Wighton avoided jail time when he faced court in late 2017 after pleading guilty to several charges, including assault, during an alcohol-fuelled attack in Canberra.
The Raiders star served a 10-game ban before returning to the NRL and has stayed out of trouble since the incident which almost ended his career.
