‘It’s hard to cheer’: Ricky fumes at no try call amid ‘completely different’ rules in Raiders win

Ricky Stuart expressed frustration over officiating and ruck interpretation after the Raiders' win, questioning a controversial no-try call.

Ricky Stuart was frustrated with a number of calls and the ruck interpretation in the Raiders' 26-22 victory over the Storm in Round 7.

The Raiders led 12-0, but could have been further ahead if Hudson Young wasn't denied a try for an accidental off-side that seemed a tough call.

"What stands out to me is after the back end of the season last year, it's very hard to cheer after a try," Stuart said in his post match press conference.

"I find it myself, I used to go off like a bloody idiot, scoring tries and whatnot. Unless it's an intercept or whatnot, it's hard to cheer because you think, oh well okay, was he onside? Did he hit him high? I mean, I suppose that's what the bunker's there for."

Stuart was pressed what goes through his head when he saw the Hudson Young no try call.
