Ricky Stuart, the coach of the Canberra Raiders, has caused a stir by weighing in on the drama surrounding rival team South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Stuart made a cheeky remark about Jack Wighton, who recently signed a lucrative deal with the Rabbitohs.
The Rabbitohs have been making headlines this week due to the unceremonious exit of assistant coach Sam Burgess and reports of internal conflicts within the club.
It has been alleged that coach Jason Demetriou played favorites with star players Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker, leading to a falling out with Burgess.
Despite Denetriou and Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly denying any issues, rumors are swirling that Wighton may reconsider his move to the Rabbitohs.
Stuart refused to quash these rumors and even admitted that he understands why Wighton might be having second thoughts.
Despite this, Stuart insisted that there is nothing to the rumors.
The Rabbitohs will undoubtedly be hoping to put this drama behind them as they aim for success in the upcoming season.
I think he would be very wise to have second thoughts regarding his move as the big question is what position they will wish him to play as there is no chance it will be No 6
