He'll leave worrying about State of Origin until Brad Fittler names his NSW Blues team on Sunday.
Wighton put his whole package on display in front of Fittler, who was at the Raiders' 22-20 victory over Cronulla at Canberra Stadium on Thursday night.
He set up two tries with two delightful passes - one short, one cut-out - tormented Sharks fullback Matt Moylan with his booming left boot, showed his "Origin effort" through a kick chase to earn a goal-line drop-out and also threw in the occasional error.
Having made his Blues debut in Origin I, Wighton's been mentioned as a potential starting five-eighth, retaining his utility role, missing out and even slotting in at left centre.
Wighton laughed it was "multiple choice" as he waited to find out his fate, which was expected to hinge on Saturday's NRL games involving Mitchell Pearce, Cody Walker and Nathan Cleary.
But he was only going to worry about it when it happened.
"That's right mate, it's multiple choice. I just take it as it comes. I'm just thinking about enjoying the win at the minute," Wighton said.
"That's what it's all about, you've got to live in the moment and if you live too far ahead it's no good.
"I'm just enjoying this win and if it comes it comes.
"I'll be stoked if I get picked and if not that's the way the game works."
Wighton felt the switch from fullback to five-eighth was always going to lead to him making a few more errors simply because he's getting the ball more.
But his focus is on minimising the impact those errors have.
"I've just to tone that one little mistake down and I think it'll be class," he said.
Wighton said the win over the Sharks showed what the Green Machine was capable of against quality opposition.
It not only came against a top-eight side, but it lifted them into third on the NRL ladder.
They blew Cronulla off the park in the opening 24 minutes, but allowed the visitors to get back into the game over the next 30 before winning the grind after that.
"When we stuck to our principles in the first half we really showed what we can do. We've just got to do it for 80 minutes," Wighton said.
"Sometimes you've just got to take those games. We've lost plenty of them before and it is disappointing.
"It's a bittersweet feeling, we shouldn't have let them back in but they're a class team and to hold them out and get the two points is the main thing."
The 26-year-old said he bore the burden of the Sharks getting back into the game because of his and halfback Aidan Sezer's organisation.
But he was confident it was something they could easily fix ahead of their next match - against Parramatta in Darwin on June 29.
"We were a little bit disappointed with our organisation in that second half," Wighton said.
"That comes back to both of us. We're both keen, eager players and it's only our second game together so we'll be right.
"We lost our way there for a little bit, but it's something that we can definitely fix."
Meanwhile, Raiders fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad's boom start to his time in Canberra has earned him a call-up for the Cook Islands.
They play South Africa in a World Cup qualifier at Wentworthville on Friday.
But Raiders coach Ricky Stuart will only release Nicoll-Klokstad if he is 100 per cent fit.
