Ricky Stuart criticized Corey Horsburgh's sin bin as a "brain explosion," blaming it for Canberra Raiders' loss to Newcastle.
An irate Ricky Stuart has blasted Corey Horsburgh's costly sin bin as a "fu***** brain explosion", blaming it for the loss to Newcastle.
Down by four points with less than ten minutes to go in the contest, the Canberra Raiders were given a golden opportunity to level the scores after referee Ashley Klein awarded a penalty against the Knights.
However, within a matter of seconds, the call was overturned after the Bunker reviewed the footage and it was deemed that Horsburgh struck Dane Gagai.
The decision not only sent the former Queensland Maroons representative to the sin bin - leaving the Raiders one man short - but it ultimately cost the club any hopes of reaching this year's finals series.
