Twelve NRL clubs have already inquired about Clive Churchill Medallist Jack Wighton since he turned down an option with the Canberra Raiders for 2021. But Wighton's new agent Matt Rose has assured Raiders fans the Green Machine will get final right of reply. Wighton's contracted to Canberra for next season and had a one-year option for 2021, but turning that down means he can accept offers from rival clubs from November 1. Rose said Wighton was a far different player to the one who signed a two-year extension - with an option for a third - in 2017. This season he's become a State of Origin winner with the NSW Blues, won the Clive Churchill Medal in the NRL grand final loss to the Sydney Roosters and is on the verge of making his Australian debut.
