Ricky Stuart Says He’s ‘Never Been so Confused’ as Raiders Slump to 12th
Stuart said he had never been so confused after a disputed second-half penalty and other calls overshadowed the Dolphins’ 30-22 win.
- On Thursday night at GIO Stadium, the Dolphins defeated the Canberra Raiders 30-22, prompting coach Ricky Stuart to deliver a fiery two-minute press conference criticizing NRL officiating.
- Stuart expressed confusion over inconsistent rule application, specifically citing a second-half penalty against Morgan Smithies for "unnecessary contact" on Ray Stone as pivotal to the controversial outcome.
- Despite missing several stars to State of Origin duties and injuries, the Dolphins secured their fourth-straight victory, with Isaiya Katoa orchestrating the win while the Raiders struggled with ill-discipline.
- Corey Horsburgh scored a chaotic 14th-minute try, though NRL legend Cooper Cronk later labeled his late penalty for dissent the "ultimate sin" as Raiders discipline faltered.
- Beyond officiating grievances, Stuart pledged Canberra's support for recently retired Rabbitoh Jai Arrow, who revealed this week he is battling motor neurone disease.
