Ricky showed his class here. The honesty and raw emotion means a lot. Well done Ricky. This is a difficult situation for all involved but this press conference really sums up a club spirit and care for one of our special players.
There was a time when i despised Ricky Stuart mainly for the origin rivalry. But I love the guy now. He wears his heart on his sleeve and i enjoy any success he gets. I'm a Broncos man but I've always had a soft spot for the Raiders!👍
Good onya QLDER, there is always especially around this time of ANZAC memorial a moment or two when we look at some of the best QLD NSW combo's..... I think Stuart inside to Meninga in the immortal 1990 WC win for the Kanga's comes to mind as one of the best.
To right bro loved watching him play love watching him coach from the sidelines with all the same passion an love for his players an the game great footy brain an mentor to all
The players are fortunate to have a coach who puts their welfare front and centre. Those with genuine leadership skills understand how important this is. How many Raiders fans are in workplaces where they enjoy the same trust and encouragement.
This is why , signings should not happen at the beginning of the season. Jack said early this week that next season will happen but he is committed to Canberra players, Tricky and the fans who always turn out each week to support them.
The way Jack said that next season is next season, his focus is on this season, reminded me of RTS on NZ tele last week when he said he wasn't going to answer any RL questions until the end of the season, his focus is on Rugby. Class attitudes.
Crocodile tears, he caused all the commotion. Paul Kent spoke to him, Paul Kent accused South’s of paying under the table, Paul Kent questioned his loyalty, Paul Kent said he was leaving to win a premiership, all after speaking to Ricky.
Don’t protect no club. Protect yourselves, the clubs will be there long after your gone. Just represent it well while you wear the colours but always do what’s right for you.
I believe no one player is bigger then the club or game they play. Being a raiders fan jack has been immense jas a player for us however we move forward knowing their will be many more jack wightons and better players out their. I believe we can win a premiership this year with this squad. They been grinding hard for the wins and onwards and upwards from here.up the MILK
That’s right, it’s hard to be in that situation where you can be replaced. But in the end as a player or employee of an organisation. It’s a reality that has to be excepted & embraced. Good enough, may find himself wearing a Raiders Jersey one more time before retirement.
Talk to your buddy PK then… seems like he did alot of your talking for you!!! Looks like guilt after seeing what poorJack and his family has been through this past week.
You're okay with the decision...yet complain about why you don't like the decision 🤷🏻♂️ the vast majority of heat on Jack has come from Ricky feeding stuff to Kent and Crawley
1:16 "I'm ok with the decision". He nearly choked when he said that. What he should have said was "Wightons just had enough of being cold and miserable".
Ricky lacks the forsight to understand that perhaps it is him that some players do not respond to. What 30 year old knocks back $1.3m to go elsewhere when his career is virtually over? Personally, this Wighton issue raises more questions than answers. Honesty and raw emotion means nothing if your entitlement is a problem.
You're right Ricky, it's not that he is leaving for more money, a warmer city or a better club. He is going for a change.... AND THAT CHANGE IS PREMIERSHIPS! (John Cena music)
Come on, Ricky. Jack said his going to South for a better chance to win the comp. And for less money. That means A. He doesnt believe in the players at Canberra can or B. Your coaching.
As usual Ricky makes it all about him. If he and his mate Kenty hadn't acted so hysterical Jack wouldn't have received all the racist abuse online this week. Those tears are for himself not Jack.
Ok Andrew💀💀 He’s not “just a player” to Ricky, it’s much deeper than that. I can’t speak on behalf of Stuart but just from this video alone we can tell he was like a son to him 💚 I know this is not comparable to their relationship but I once had a teacher, he was much more than “just a teacher” he was one of the greatest people in my life, just like them two I guess 👍

Class?
100% agree as a bulldogs fan you want this sort of passion from the people running the joint .
I have always disliked Stuart since his time with the Roosters, his endless whinging at the referee's i have found so tiresome over the years.......

Raiders win? Everyone loves Ricky. Raiders lose? Sack him!
To right bro loved watching him play love watching him coach from the sidelines with all the same passion an love for his players an the game great footy brain an mentor to all
Good on you Ricky
Mad respect for sticky here
Luv you Ricky always been a class act a lovely human being
Please explain?
A Lot of people hate on sticky but he's one of the most passionate coaches in the nrl
Well done Ricky. Respect is the key. Respect that Jack has been a warrior. People have to make a decision, but it doesnt mean it is easy
What a bloke Ricky is. Just shows how much he loves the club.
Love ya ricky 💚
I’m crying now I’m gonna miss jack

Huh?
He got so emotional about that feel for him
Great win and awesome character shown
Love you from this ricky.
All the best Raiders and good luck Jack 👍 Onya Ricky 👍👍
Be kinda ironic if Raiders win comp this year, ❤
Warriors all day
More ironic if souths win this year before wighton goes there next year that would be a kick in the nuts
@@andyhunter5869 it's our year? It took Sharkys 54 years 🤣
South win this year and Raiders next year. Would be mega ironic

we need more people driven by passion not by money! game would be in a good place
Lol alternate universe
The club and the game will always be bigger than the player see ya jack
Love ricky wears his heart on his sleeve says it like it is. Sucks they lost that grand final. Respect though 🫡

Subtitles for Elliott please. Jokes😂
1:16 "I'm ok with the decision". He nearly choked when he said that. What he should have said was "Wightons just had enough of being cold and miserable".
Nahhh he shouldn’t have said that
Probably wants to live somewhere not as cold as Tassy, Canberra's stupid cold

Gerald. Murphy. Sorry. Jack. Leaving. Radders. Canberra. South’s. Jack wighton. Sorry. Jack. For. Ricky. Club. Thanks
Raiders maybe pick up Kyle Flanagan..?? Just a thought.🤷
You're right Ricky, it's not that he is leaving for more money, a warmer city or a better club. He is going for a change.... AND THAT CHANGE IS PREMIERSHIPS! (John Cena music)
😭😭
Dreaming
Chin up raider's
Come on, Ricky. Jack said his going to South for a better chance to win the comp. And for less money. That means A. He doesnt believe in the players at Canberra can or B. Your coaching.
Imagine coaching a player who doesn't think you can win the comp in the next 5 years.
He actually has never said that and I think Jack showed that he’ll rip in
@@davidfife-nm7uy So he is taking a pay cut to leave the club he loves. Lol... Makes sense
Looks like jack gave sticky a good right hand to the forehead
Viva la stick!
But Ricky and the Raiders are what caused this week to stir up. I don’t understand that club or Ricky, just let him go and pursue his dream.
Good old you tube deleting my post. So much for free speech
W G D ?
Contracts are a 😂😂😂😂😂
I feel bad for Jack, but who takes a paycut that high, especially if he has a family?
You wanna live as a pro NRL player achieving everything but a premiership?
I think he.ll still earn enough for his family🙄
Omg. How could he ever provide for his family on 800k a year. Lmao 😆 stfu,
Premiership worth a billion dollars when you don't have one
Money is for small boys. Man desire premiership 😊
As usual Ricky makes it all about him. If he and his mate Kenty hadn't acted so hysterical Jack wouldn't have received all the racist abuse online this week. Those tears are for himself not Jack.
Hear about the Irish thief ????????????????????? .............................. He broke into the Raiders trophy cabinet
Dusters
Iv seen everything know he is just a player get over it
Ok Andrew💀💀

No one cares what you think
Ah well ya obviously don't love him enough if he wants out so desperately
You rangas always fail to listen ,
