Kenty is angry that Jack has walked out of his best mates team lol
One minute Kenty whinges that player are overpaid then he is whinging that he is taking less. I think its fair offer from Souths its the raiders that are paying him overs which is why half the clubs are in trouble
100% agree wighton is rocks and diamonds most games so to pay a million plus is wild
I agree, if they dont win a premiership in the next 3 years it will be a failure if they do its a success.. thats football.
Thats any sport really if they make the grand final 1 year some can even see that as success alot of luck goes into a season so only time will tell
Lol yeah Kent wants them to be paid less and play for a crap team to gain his worthless validation.
His continual defence for ricky and the raiders has clearly become overly personal. Kenty being there number one supporter will even turn raiders fans away
I understand Paul Kent is good mates with Ricky Stuart, but still......
Soccer is the number 1 sport in the world rugby league sucks very badly mbappe is so fast and there’s no Addo-Carr so what is rugby league without that soccer is big in 250 countries and rugby league only in 4 losers
Khunty is a KNOB!
But still what? It’s fair to investigate it? I personally think it’ll be cleared but someone taking a $300,000 per year paycut is abnormal and can’t trust it just on face value surely.
@@davidmcdonald3780 not really... he wants to win a comp.
@@davidmcdonald3780 its not crazy for him to take less for a better chance at winning a comp it happens in other sports with older players all the time
If Jack wants to take a pay cut that is his decision, ultimately it is affecting him & only him. So if he wants to do that who cares what anyone else says/thinks, wants to win a comp and the Raiders are miles off that.
The Raiders knew Wighton wanted out. Hence they could offer the moon knowing they would never have to pay out.
Damn, even Kevy Walters is commenting on this.....
Good old Kenty knows everything about everything, how is he not the CEO, football manager, head of recruitment and coach at a club?
or a 300 gamer
Could not have put it any better, well stated.
Truth. The funny thing is, if they kicked him, this show wouldn't lose any viewers and the game wouldn't lose absolutely anything. The level of ego and mates in good places is absolutely backwards and amateurish
@@TheJuanvegas spot on. If he wasnt there I'd say the show would get better.
The flip flopping he does on any given subject is embarrassing ffs.
Nothing wrong with him wanting to win a comp.Crazy how he's even being judged by this
nothing wrong with checking to make sure theres nothing shifty going on, on the side either. 300k is a bit sus.
Exactly. No one blinked an eye when Munster rejected boat loads of money from dolphins to stay at storm
@Erik sometimes winning trumps making money, he was already on a good wicket. Why not go somewhere with a chance of winning for more money that he was on but not as big as what he was offered?
@@bigtomivan side deals arent illegal as long as they are put forward to the nrl and approved. Every team does it.
Kenty going at it for his mate Ricky. It's comical 😂😂😂😂😂
Some people just don't get that money isn't everything 🙄
FACTS
Exactly.
Whispers that Jack has felt stale after 14 years in Canberra,and hasn't been happy.
People moan when players move for money, can't have it both ways
Soccer is the number 1 sport in the world rugby league sucks very badly mbappe is so fast and there’s no Addo-Carr so what is rugby league without that soccer is big in 250 countries and rugby league only in 4 losers
Kenty: So he's gonna forgoe $2000 cash in the hand every week. Me: If I was making $700k a year I wouldn't have any complaints or financial worries the rest of my life. At that money who cares about 2k.
I get that Kentys' job is to be the antagonist, but some of the stuff he comes up with is wild 🤦🏾♂️
Hes mates with ricky stuart thats why.
That's a nice way of saying monkey garbage
Where was all this righteous indignation when the Roosters signed 3 marquee players (Sonny Bill Wiliams, Michael Jennings and James Maloney) at the beginning of the Roosters 2013 premiership winning season? Matty Johns spoke to an anonymous NRL salary cap official, who valued that at over $4.5 mill over the NRL salary cap based on market value. Where was it when the Roosters were over the salary cap by at least another $2 mill when they had Tedesco $1.1 mill, Crichton $1 mill, Cordner $850K, Friend $650K, Keary $650K, Morris $500K, Hall $500K, Latrell $450K, Manu $400K and JWH $350K? $6.4 mill of a $9.4 mill 30 player salary cap, almost 70% of their 30-player salary cap on 10 players! No one questioned the Roosters then or since. Why?
Finally someone speaking the truth !!! Roosters do it all the time and nothing said but when souths do it everyone has a bloody meltdown
As a lifelong Rooster, welcome to the club Bunnies 🤣
Up the chooks
@@daz3585 😂😂😂
I genuinely believe the Roosters have been cheating the salary cap every year in the salary cap era. Nick Politis has so much influence in the Australian media that no one challenges him or the Roosters. You need investigators from overseas (i.e. US or UK) to investigate the Roosters and Politis’ financial records.
KENTY seems to be implying that Uncle Russell is going to give Wighton some Roosters-style sweetener after the contract expires.
He can sign and go where he wants simple
Kenty acting like he’s manager
The honest reality is that the salary cap system doesn’t work (entirely) when players will take less to go to some clubs but will demand to be paid more to go to others.
Good player wants to play for good team. Shock horror.
Is Jack's handicap on the golf range? Asking for a third party.
@@nickrad6966 Players want to live near the beach and get third party deals.
What r U talking about.of course they demand more to go to weak clubs.otherwise why would anyone sign with the tigers.
The weaker clubs should focus more on developing their young players coming through the system rather than splurging on marquee players.
Michael tore shreds off kent good on you Michael👏👏👏👏
“I have no proof but he shouldn’t be allowed to do this” - Paul Kent 2023
“Why would a player like him leave Canberra” good effort Michael, Kenty needed to be told !
@@joeblow1711 Kent’s always so pressed when something happens to Canberra/Ricky. Something makes me think maybe he’s apart of their salary cap cause I thought if he wasn’t for his job he would need to be unbiased
Kenty’s is Ricky’s Simp! Pure and simple
@Frank Soubris yeah he had it in for salmon for a week straight lol then when he scored he went at him again 😂😂 guy is cooked
Kent sounds like he's trying to save a broken relationship
"aww but what about the good times we had?"
Kentys theatrics 😂 knows how to create the drama.
Smith took less to play for the roosters and Munster took far less to play for Melbourne did the dolphins whinge to the NRL ?
Smith did good as he didn't want to be with storms thought he would sign in roosters team. Glad they beat warriors I'm a 🐓 fan.2nd team I 👍 🐉 3 bdogs
Love how they don’t understand winning a comp is the pinnacle of sports, yes it’s not set in stone but you need to give yourself the best chance! Plus jacko is a proud black fulla so Redfern is the perfect place for him and the brothers. He loves being around his brothers and that’s when you play your best footy when you are enjoying it
You reckon all the best players should just play for the team they see winning a premiership? That’d make great football whilst clubs like West Tigers, St George, Titans and Eels have been struggling for years.
Jack should’ve been a proud one club player and bring attention and inspiration to the youth of his culture there after everything the club had done for him with his troubles outside of the game and remaining loyal to him and helping him through it (even before he was a rep football player.)
But end of the day it’s his decision just not a very admirable one.
@David McDonald it obviously depends on the player and what they think that will win them a comp 😂
Doesnt look Black to me.
Wighton should be able to go where he wants to go, and living in Sydney beats Canberra.
This is what I think too. His quality of life in Syd would be worth the pay cut
“He’S sO gReEdY, aLl He CaRe’S aBoUt ArE pReMiErShIpS” - Probably Paul Kent when on the phone to his boyfriend Ricky
Kenty about to cry because Jack hurt his bf Sticky's feelings is hilarious
mature
@ThurstonWatt you're right I should grow up and be more like kenty, I'll start with domestic abuse
This is stupid. Lockyer used to say sign everyone up we need and give me what you can at the end. He never signed for market value because he loved the club
Money vs Greatness. Imagine begrudging a player at the chance to tick off the final trophy and chapter in his NRL book…

Kenty had the dumbest argument. He is upset about Jack taking a pay cut. What the hell has that got to do with Kent? It's jacks life he can do whatever he wants to do lol
@@anonymous5787 "what has that got to do with Kent"
His mate (Ricky) is butt hurt
@@DjDmt did you not hear kenty, bloke wouldn't shutup about Jack taking a paycut lol
@@anonymous5787 how could you not hear him 😅
Its not often a player puts trophies before money. You can’t please Paul Kent.
Hey @kenty, will we see the same outrage next time the Roosters sign a decent player without losing much or will you roll out the usual defense “players wanna play for less there”
Exactly.
Roosters have literally bought smith and leinu who is a bench player for Penrith this is an old dried out joke
@@danielkelly4487 not bagging the roosters here. Just the media coverage and the double standards in the reporting. They signed Dom Young for less then what Newcastle offered, (don’t think he’s the greatest) but Kent’s outrage here is that Wighton signed for less then what Canberra offered, but when the Roosters announced the young signing, or any other signings it’s because they are happy to accept less to play there. Also doesn’t help Ricky’s his best mate, so you have to question his motives here
@@richardwalsh6623 dom young singed for 100 k less not 300 k he also didn’t give up 90 k in origin payments or in young’s case playing for the pommies . Kentys more saying that questions need to be asking around the cap and why he took 300 k less potentially 400 k less which he is correct . The fact is all club use third party incentives just some do it better and has been done for years some just do it better then others but the joke is on the roosters all the time but if you go through there roster they have more players who debuted through there club then most clubs
@@danielkelly4487 less money is still less money, and I’d say based on the size of both players contracts 100 k for dom is comparable to 300k for Wighton.
If ya didn't think kenty was a peanut, surely this rant got you there
He wants to win a Premiership. Nothing wrong with that! Kenty would have given out if he signed for the Dolphins for more money. You can't win with that lad.
Maybe he prefers to live in Sydney over Canberra
If ricky wasnt kentys mate he wouldnt be so cut.
Kenny doesn’t get this one. Jack is purely going for a premiership. You can’t begrudge him that. Ricky has had his chance and hasn’t delivered
Soccer is the number 1 sport in the world rugby league sucks very badly mbappe is so fast and there’s no Addo-Carr so what is rugby league without that soccer is big in 250 countries and rugby league only in 4 losers
Ricky is a sook, just like his mate kenty
If this was the Roosters and they had signed Jack Wighton , the reaction would have been absolutely biblical.
It would have been the end of the world in regards to how do the Roosters always seem to pick up great players . Well because it's
Souths Ricky Stuart has thrown the baby out with the bath water.
However in saying that Ricky has no right to put South Sydney through the ringer . The guy has given Canberra over 10 years of. Loyal service . He wants to win a premiership . I can tell you one thing
To have Cody Walker latrell Mitchell
and Jack together will be absolutely devastating .
You mention Cody Latrell n Jack thats still no garentee their going to win a comp , but a awesome treble to have in any team, will see how it turns out.
@@lorrainevanvliet9930 I'm pretty sure if they would have kept Adam Reynolds the bunnies would have already one another premiership.
What was the narrative , because of his age we can't afford a 3 year deal
Or how the tables turn , they sign Jack wighton for 4 years !
How is Kenty so mad? They should be applauding a player happily taking less to attempt to win a GF. Especially given the way players butcher contracts these days for a pay cheque.
Kent is one of the most biased journos in the game especially when a mate is involved. Was on trying to start an upbrawl a few weeks ago because Ivan said that the panthers beating the raiders was Karma.
Soccer is the number 1 sport in the world rugby league sucks very badly mbappe is so fast and there’s no Addo-Carr so what is rugby league without that soccer is big in 250 countries and rugby league only in 4 losers
Paul Kent is off his brain. He hasn’t said anything of logic
Who gives af what he does. He’s the one playing no one else. Let the bloke live out the rest of his career happy and the way he wants.
Take whatever Kenty says with a gram of Ricky's toe jam
Can you blame him for leaving? Who wants to live in Canberra and they’re so far off a premiership. He will have a far better lifestyle in Sydney surrounded by Latrell and Cody and they’ll probably get the best footy out of him too. Not a south’s fan but sometimes you need a good work/life balance
“It has had to be looked at?” What!
Kenty has had a stinker here. Wighton is taking a pay cut to win a comp what’s wrong with that. If anything, it allows Canberra to spend more on a player.
I like Jack and his a gun player but Raiders should just sit him for the rest of the year. He’s basically said I can’t win with you lot so I’m gonna join a better team!
you think raiders are a chance at a grand final this year?
Those bunnies must be borrowing that chooks sombrero. 😂
Unless every team magically had the exact some odd of Winning the comp - players are gonna ask for less or more money depending on which club they’re going to
The third parties and the extra gravy that's only available to a few clubs means that the other clubs are hampered by the salary cap rather than helped
I think south’s paying 950 k for a 33-34 year old centre is a massive risk and will throw out south’s cap in the last two years of he’s deal

@foxleague you forgot the part where Kent apologises, can we get that clipped up too?
Can you add the clip where Kenty apologized?
Kenty's love affair with Ricky Stuart continues. Sorta getting to a point where they should just get a room and be done with it.
Kenty is a bit of a spud to be honest.
Hoops is the only one spitting facts.
Weird day when hoops is spitting facts
@@DjDmt indeed.
Kent is Ricky's mouthpiece and does not have wighton's best interest at heart
So roosters signed spencer leniu 3 months ago an questions about there cap
Also , just because raiders offered overs doesn’t mean that he is worth that
Fix the system, don’t blame the Rabbitohs
You can't blame him for trying to win a comp.
Hey look let’s look at it this way. He’s staying in Rugby League and not gone to Union.
Is Paul Kent on the raiders payroll??😂😂😅
Ricky Stuart is his lover.
Hes a smart guy he knows he will win a comp #ssfc
No one ever questioned all the years the Roosters were over the salary cap and getting favours from the NRL.
obv not enough quality in souths side to win a comp. cheers
@@decidingpointreveiverschoi6005 been in the GF or 1 game of for the past how many years… clearly plenty of quality bud
Wighton would already be very comfortable financially. He would be in the top 1% of earners in Australia for his age range. 700-800-900k a year for the next 4 years is still a ridiculous amount of money. He is trading the difference for a genuine shot at a premiership, instead of letting his career wind down at the Raiders on an inconsequential extra amount of money and then spend the rest of his life regretting the fact he never won a ring.
You are so right, if he was on $900k a year with raiders for the last couple years well he has earned 10 years of a average Australians salary in just 1 year. If he was smart with his money, he would have himself and his family set up for life already. People say they have to take as much as they can because it’s a short career but realistically some of these good players earn in a 10 year career what people wouldn’t earn for their entire life plus more. I don’t see a issue with him taking the pay cut to have a better chance at accomplishing something he only has maybe 4 years left in his life to achieve. Money isn’t everything when you have the money they have.
@@liamjames6876 Yep. Kenty's outrage was kind of lost on me. He couldn't wrap his mind around the fact someone would take less money, and seemed to be suggesting that there is breach of the salary cap... as though there MUST be a paperbag deal to make up the difference. He just genuinely couldn't believe Wighton would cop the loss for a chance at a premi.
Girls girls girls settle down 😂
So, I player that would cost the Raiders/Dolphins $1,300,000 a season will only cost Souths $700k. There's no hope anymore for the middle-low table teams, we simply cannot compete. The NRL needs to find a way to tier the salary cap based on ladder positions (or something similar).
That's a fair point, but on the other hand, the Dophins are going pretty well (so far) with the team they have - and having failed to land all the big marquee players they've gone after. It could be that Money Ball is the way to go. Hiring for analytics and stats rather than reputations. Wighton is not helping Canberra out of their funk, and they're an established team.
@@elrey8876 I agree mate, definitely the Moneyball method. It's hard to balance though - marquee signings put bums in seats. Then again, so does success. With the NRL there will always be winners and losers, I just wish the gap between those two wasn't so vast.
Wighton is a great player but freeing up $1Mn on cap will allow them to invest in quality younger prospects
Kenty was way out of line here, should have been more respectful about it at this point there is zero evidence of anything. Say it once then hold your tongue till more comes out then be like I told you so if that's how you wanna be but that was unprofessional
I love it when all these bastards argue! Haha
PK takes anything that has to do with Sticky and the Raiders personally. Deemed valuation 🤦🏽♂️ if the man wants to take less, what does it have to do with anyone else??? What makes them think that this argument will make him stay??? If he wants out then he wants out…. If he cant go to souths then he will just go to the Dolphins.
What is being missed is that at a team like souths he gets to the end of 4 years I believe still playing reasonable footy at that price but an Canberra the way he carries that team there is no way he plays good footy the last 2 years esp at 1mil. Imagine in the 4th year all the pundits saying he is not playing like a mil a year llayer
Where's the apology from legal that Kenty issued a couple minutes later
Let's go Jack, huge singing, premiers 2023/24❤❤
Lol

Another preliminary choke
About a month ago Wighton announces he won't play rep footy to reduce his market value. This deal was happening back then. Stinks
Masterstroke by souths anyone who thinks otherwise is just salty
Imagine going to the Rabbits. It's like playing for Penrith.

Jack will have to lose some teeth 🦷
Imagine wasting the best years of your career in Canberra
Like willie mason said years ago, they wanna call it a business when they (a club) want to move a player on, but when a player wants to leave a club it's a loyalty thing
Paul Kent needs to be very careful he isn't sued
I'm sure your raiders team mates will be pleased you have no confidence in them winning a premiership! Good luck in the future!
Soccer is the number 1 sport in the world rugby league sucks very badly mbappe is so fast and there’s no Addo-Carr so what is rugby league without that soccer is big in 250 countries and rugby league only in 4 losers
Yeah
As Kent ever spoken about salary cap queries with the "Rooters" in his career as a sporting journalist? Like most people I find his rants about anything in league more an act than serious journalism, have a few more beers at the Garry Owen hotel, and actually listen to locals rather than blather on.
Where was this talk when Teddy signed on for 700k for 5 years as the games best fullback you have to take pay cuts to win
Kenty is just sooking because Ricky Stuart is his mate 🤣🤣🤣
A 300k pay cut ain’t a pay cut if that’s his current true worth. Raiders overpaid to keep but couldn’t.
" he's clearly stipulated to Souths and Dolphins that its about premierships" ??? ...and they agreed. We'll do our best mate. Sign here.
Imagine if Wighton signed with the Panthers. Kenty would've flipped the table over and jumped around butt naked
Kenty can’t wrap his head around it.
should be easy to wrap as there is not much in there to resist being wrapped around anything.
Many players over the years have taken less money to play for a strong club. It is ridiculous Kent carrying on and Canberra wanting an investigation into the signing. He needs to take a bex and lie down for a while.
Legal must have been on to Kenty real quick 😂😂😂😂😂. How come you didn't include the apology Kent made (in the following segment) for insinuating Wighton was gonna "get in the ring" as part of some under-the-table payment.
They complain when players sign for more money at bad clubs because it shows "a lack of ambition", they complain when players sign for less money at better clubs...
The gladiator will be paying him under the table a very large sum of cash
WTF? Did South's hold a gun to his head and force him to sign for €700k? If not and he made his own free choice this whole conversation is entirely pointless.
Latrell got in his ear
Paul Doesn’t make any sense running some down because they take a pay cut
I usually agree with Kenty but I don't understand how he can think there's something fishy about a bloke taking a bit less to try to win a comp. It's not that big a difference in the grand scheme of things.
How can south’s fit him under the cap ? Everyone bashes the Roosters when Cody,Latrell and Cook have all resigned
Souths never recruited any new players 2022 and 2023 and they didn't replace Dane Gagai who went back to the Knights with a new signing. They have the cap.
Keep going Kenty😂😂😂 keep punching for ya mate Sticky😂😂😂😂
Paul Kent complaining that a player is willing to take less money.
He might also want to leave Canberra and move to Sydney.
why is kent so up in arms about a player taking a pay cut
This is strange, he is willing to transition to centre at South Sydney over playing five-eighth or fullback. A premiership is an achievement that a lot of players have missed out on. I wouldn’t be wasting his skills at centre just in NRL games.
And what if South Sydney win a premiership this season? Cody and Latrell won’t get complacent, will they?
Maybe he's just sick of Canberra
Jesus Christ, I'd sacrifice money to not live in Canberra. What is Kenty smoking?
Souths have won one premiership in the last 50 years.😂
if wighton takes less money thats on him and shouldn't matter to any one. he wants to play with his aboriginal brothers since he has a bond with them through origin, and wants to win a comp. the last few years the marque players contracts have gone up by 100k each year. if it's within the cap then it's fine. this is the raiders fault and shot themselves in the foot. it's a business about results.
what kent is saying about wighton's worth is true. NRL determine a players worth, what they should be valued at and even which clubs can afford them. NRL has so much say in that which is ridiculous. example SBW when he returned to chooks after 2014 NRL determine his value and that only roosters, eels and 1 or 2 other clubs were eligble. Wighton will be a centre at rabbitiohs. kent is delusional.
Kent is a walking contradiction. He says only what suits him in the moment and then contradicts what he said when arguing someone else’s point.
Feral..
As a St Helens fan i just hope the raiders don't try and sign jack Welsby or Lewis Dodd as a replacement
I'd take a pay cut to leave Canberra too .
Crazy he signed with them to win a premiership but Raiders are higher on the ladder than the bunnies right now. Maybe should have signed with the Sharks or Parra. Broncos, Storm and Panthers wouldn't take him as they have very strong halves already. His a better option than Moylan and Brown if he took a pay cut.
