Ricky Stuart has reportedly turned down the Raiders’ offer of some time off following his
“weak-gutted dog” spray directed at Penrith’s Jaeman Salmon.
Stuart is set to cop a one to two-game ban and a $20,000 fine
from the NRL for his comments in the press conference following the Raiders’ loss to the Panthers.
Raiders CEO Don Furner conceded to Channel 9 on Monday that it’s a “difficult” situation and the club had offered Stuart some time away regardless of what punishment the governing body hands down.
