Jack Wighton's decision to retire from representative football has raised eyebrows, especially considering his recent suspension for allegedly biting Tyson Gamble's forearm.
The Canberra Raiders player has been slapped with a three-game ban, which will now impact his future club, the Rabbitohs.
Wighton's last game for the Raiders before his move to South Sydney next season was on Sunday, where he received the suspension.
This comes as another blow for Souths, who have already experienced a disappointing season.
Wighton's retirement from rep footy means he cannot use any potential ban on international matches at the end of the year.
However, there are rumors that he is reconsidering his decision, which could potentially change the situation.
Wighton was a key player in the Kangaroos' World Cup win last year and could be selected for upcoming Tests against Samoa and New Zealand.
These matches could serve as a way to lessen the impact of his suspension on Souths.
