NRL star Jack Wighton is facing a crucial moment in his career as his wife, Monisha Lew Fatt, has expressed her wish for him to step away from rugby for a brief period to focus on their family. While Wighton has not officially made any decisions, the final call on whether he will take a short break from the game may rest in the hands of the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Monisha, who has long supported Wighton through the highs and lows of his professional rugby career, has been vocal about wanting her husband to be around more, even if just for a short time. After years of balancing the intensity of NRL life with raising their children, she is eager for Wighton to take a step back, if only briefly, to spend quality time at home.
This is not a permanent farewell to rugby, but rather a temporary pause. Wighton is still deeply passionate about the game and fully intends to return to the Rabbitohs, possibly in the near future. However, the decision now hinges on the club’s willingness to allow Wighton the time he needs to prioritize his family without jeopardizing their season.
For the Rabbitohs, losing Wighton for any length of time is not ideal, but the club understands the importance of family, and a brief break could be beneficial for both Wighton and the team in the long run. His return is expected once he’s had the opportunity to recharge and enjoy time with his wife and children.
Wighton’s commitment to his family has always been clear, and while the Rabbitohs weigh their options, fans remain hopeful that the star player will be back on the field shortly. His time away will not only strengthen his family bonds but could also allow him to return with renewed focus and determination, ready to make an even greater impact for South Sydney.
