Ricky Stuart denied mind games about Josh Papalii's injury, confirming he may miss the finals.
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.
The Broncos then hit back by suggesting through the media that they had an insider from Canberra that was updating them on Papalii's recovery process.
