Hilarious moment young NRL fan brutally snubs Jack Wighton as Canberra Raiders star gets sin-binned

Canberra five eighths Jack Wighton was left red in the face after a cheeky fan pulled a funny prank on him after he was sent off on Sunday.

Wighton was put on the report twice by referee Gerard Sutton in Sunday’s 24-14 loss to Newcastle Knights, and on Monday morning was hit with a grade two dangerous contact charge that will see him suspended for two games. if you take the culprit early. petition.

The 2020 Dally M Winner’s 48th-minute high kick over Jackson Hastings was his team’s most costly as it saw Wighton binned.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, Wighton’s day went from bad to worse when he fell for an everlasting joke from a fan while walking through the tunnel.

The youngster held out his hand for a high-five and the Raiders star complied, but the fan quickly withdrew his hand as he walked past him.

The moment did not go unnoticed by fans, who took to social media to congratulate the boy on the ‘brutal’ moment.

“Best thing I’ve ever seen,” commented one Twitter user.

Somebody get that kid a signed jersey. Brilliant,” said another.

‘Why do I feel so bad for Wighton?’ commented a third.

Ricky Stuart’s side struggled to find direction without Wighton and did not fare much better when he returned, but the Raiders manager refused to blame the loss on his playmaker’s brain explosion.

“It doesn’t really matter what you think, Hastings got up pretty quickly,” Stuart said.

“I was going down when Jack came in, I was trying to turn momentum into a desperate period of play.

“The other thing, I think, is the speed and intensity of the way it happened… no one was hurt, just got hit in the neck.

‘He [a sin-binning] It’s happened before and we’ve won games.’

With Wighton out of the field, Newcastle tore into the Raiders’ left edge under Tyson Frizell as Adam O’Brien’s men held on for their first home win in seven games.

Attempts by Hudson Young, Wighton and a Matt Frawley two-point field goal had given the Raiders a 14–8 lead at halftime.

Greg Marzhew and Bradman Best crossed over to keep the Knights in the game, but after halftime the Green Machine broke down.

In the 10-minute period after half time, Marzhew added his second, Dane Gagai crossed and Frizell broke through after Wighton was sent off on 10 minutes.

“They scored three downs and that’s unacceptable from our point of view,” Stuart said.

‘They raised their tails and it was hard to back off. It was inexcusable, some of the tries they scored.’

Even when Wighton returned, the Knights held their own in thwarting a one-dimensional attack by the Raiders.

Hastings and halves partner Tyson Gamble, who continues to fill in well for Kalyn Ponga, seemed safe.

‘Tyson has been a standout. He’s a competitor you win by competing and that’s what he gives us,” said O’Brien, whose team will face Manly in Mudgee on Saturday.

There’s an opportunity for us to go on a mission out there.
