Jack Wighton has no interest in coming out of State of Origin retirement amid a NSW injury crisis, pledging his focus to last-placed South Sydney instead. The call is the latest in a series of blows for first-year Blues coach Michael Maguire, who has lost likely Origin I starters Nathan Cleary, Cam Murray and Tom Trbojevic to injury this month.
“There’s plenty of young kids that do the Blues proud and do a great job there, so I’ll sit in my position of staying retired and leave it up to them young fellas to fly the flag,” Wighton said. “I’ve been trying to really put a focus on keeping my body together for Souths. As everyone knows, we’re in a bit of a rut.” Wighton shone on the Origin stage across a 10-game career that ended with his shock representative retirement only weeks out from last year’s series opener.
