'Totally unacceptable': Stuart slammed for 'gaslighting' his own player
Corey Parker criticized Ricky Stuart for gaslighting Corey Horsburgh over his late-game tackle against Dane Gagai in a crucial match.
Wide World of Sports
NRL great Corey Parker has taken aim at Ricky Stuart, claiming the Raiders coach gaslit Corey Horsburgh for his late-game "brain explosion" against the Knights.
With less than 10 minutes remaining in Canberra's season-ending 30-24 loss to Newcastle, the fiery front-rower made a tackle on Dane Gagai.
The veteran Knights centre then got up in frustration after Horsburgh collected him high and grabbed his opponent's jersey, prompting on-field referee Ashley Klein to initially blow a penalty in the Raiders' favour.
Kalyn Ponga was seen arguing with Klein to understand why his team had been punished, claiming that Gagai was struck high in the tackle by Horsburgh.

Sharks rep star cops ban, Raiders prop spared
Addin Fonua-Blake faces a one-game suspension for a high tackle, impacting Cronulla's top-four hopes as they prepare for crucial upcoming matches.
The Canberra Times
Cronulla's hopes of clinging onto their prized top-four spot have been dealt a blow with enforcer Addin Fonua-Blake copping a suspension.
Fonua-Blake was on Monday handed a one-game ban if he gives an early guilty plea for a careless high tackle on St George Illawarra forward Hamish Stewart during the Sharks' upset 24-16 loss on Sunday.
If he decides to appeal the decision and is found guilty at a hearing, the 30-year-old will miss two games.

Corey Horsburgh's Raiders future in doubt after post-match Ricky Stuart spray
Corey Horsburgh faces an $1800 fine for slapping Dane Gagai; other players face fines for various infractions.
The Canberra Times
Ricky Stuart slapped down Corey Horsburgh for his ill-discipline on Sunday and now the NRL match review committee has followed suit.
Horsburgh's been offered an $1800 fine for an early guilty plea for slapping Newcastle centre Dane Gagai.
If he fights the grade-one contrary conduct charge and loses then he'll be fined $2500.
While he's avoided a suspension for his costly slap, it might not save Horsburgh from getting dropped for the Raiders' next game - against Cronulla at Shark Park on Saturday.
