Ricky Stuart humorously reflected on his coaching remarks, emphasizing his focus on preparing the Raiders for an upcoming match.
Ricky Stuart joked there were times in his coaching career where he hasn't thought about what he said - and his wallet was much lighter as a consequence.
But that wasn't the case when he raised concerns about the consistency of the refereeing in the NRL.
The Canberra Raiders coach stands by those comments and says he didn't need to follow them up with the governing body.
Instead, his focus was on preparing the Green Machine for their crucial clash with North Queensland at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.
