Ricky Stuart denies mind games regarding Josh Papalii's injury before crucial finals match against Broncos.
Ricky Stuart has brushed aside claims from the Broncos that he is playing mind games over the health of Josh Papalii, by declaring "it's not about me.''
The Raiders coach fronted the media on Saturday to reveal Papalii completed just 15-minutes of training on Friday.
He added that the inspirational prop will be ruled out of the Raiders sold-out qualifying finals clash with the Broncos if he's considered a liability.
The revelation of Papalii's ankle injury last Monday triggered the Broncos into believing Stuart was playing mind games with them.
