Jaeman Salmon has broken his silence on Ricky Stuart's "weak-gutted dog" spray, saying he was shocked and confused by the Canberra coach's comments.
Salmon is reportedly still considering legal action against Stuart after the ugly aftermath to a clash in Canberra earlier this season.
Shielded from the media since the incident last month, the Penrith utility said he had been sledged by fans in the weeks that have followed.
