Post by: Raidercast on October 06, 2019, 10:56:46 PM
Canberra star Jack Wighton has become the first player in six years to claim the Clive Churchill Medal from the losing team in the NRL grand final. Wighton scored the Raiders' only try and broke five tackles in their 14-8 defeat to the Sydney Roosters at ANZ Stadium on Sunday. "Congratulations to the Sydney Roosters. Hopefully we see you again in another dance like this," Wighton said after the game. Not since Manly halfback Daly Cherry-Evans was awarded the gong in 2013 has the medallist come from the runners-up.
