Canberra coach Ricky Stuart delivers a frustrated post-match media appearance after the Raiders lose to the Dolphins. Multiple outlets report that Stuart expresses being “never been so confused,” despite conceding that the Dolphins deserve their win. Several accounts describe his remarks as fiery and targeted at the refereeing and the NRL bunker, following what he characterises as a run of close or “50/50” decisions that go against his side.
One report notes the post-match press conference lasts 111 seconds, while another frames it as lasting about two minutes. While the coverage focuses on Stuart’s reaction, it also indicates that the officials and the NRL may interpret those calls differently than the coach does, contributing to his confusion and upset. Across the sources, the consistent points are Stuart’s public frustration, his criticism of officiating and the bunker after the match, and his acknowledgement that the Dolphins are the deserving winners.
