Ricky Stuart has launched a stinging attack on the NRL and the referees after his side's 26-18 victory over the Eels.
Stuart took exception Corey Horsburgh's sin-binning for a punch on Ryan Matterson, while he also weighed in on the hip drop tackle debate.
It was tough. We had to play tough. Especially with having to play a man down for 10 minutes, played with 12 there in a really tight part of the game, Stuart said.
