'Negativity': Ricky Stuart irked by NRL Bunker in side's 26-22 win over Storm
The Raiders beat the Storm 26-22, but coach Ricky Stuart criticized the NRL Bunker's officiating decisions.
Wide World of Sports
The Raiders got home 26-22 against the Storm on Friday night but Ricky Stuart was still left confused by the state of officiating, taking aim at the NRL Bunker after Canberra was denied twice because of the video referee.
Stuart described his side's performance as the best he's seen this season, however, he was left frustrated by the NRL's on-field review system.
With the Raiders up 12-0, Hudson Young crossed the line but his try was disallowed after a lengthy replay found an accidental offside.
"What stands out to me is after the back end of the season last year, it's very hard to cheer after a try.

Simi Sasagi stars as Canberra Raiders win 26-22 over Melbourne Storm
The Storm, once dominant, now struggle with five consecutive losses and fading competitiveness due to injuries and departures.
The Australian
Plenty of smart judges have written the Storm off in the past and have been left with egg on their faces, but it's time to start making the omelette because the best team of the past two decades appears to be cooked.
The Storm have now lost five on the trot after they gave up a halftime lead to go down 26-22 to Canberra at GIO Stadium, with Craig Bellamy's side already losing touch with the top eight.
The team that lost the past two grand finals started the year on fire with two huge wins, but a stack of injuries and key departures have finally caught up with the men in purple who have seemingly lost their aura.
Opposition teams no longer fear them and they can't rely on special plays from their superstar spine who don't have the forwards to give them room, nor the strike players out wide who can conjure something out of nothing.
This was a much better showing than what we saw from them last week when they were humiliated at home by the Warriors, with a lot more effort and some slick play from fullback Sua Fa'alogo who was clobbered high and forced off late.

'Go, Corey, away': Raiders firebrand Horsburgh penalised for verbal dissent
Corey Horsburgh was penalized for dissent after his first try, impacting the match against the Storm in Canberra.
Wide World of Sports
Firebrand Raiders forward Corey Horsburgh was penalised for verbal dissent in a moment that swung the early stages of Friday night's clash with the Storm in Canberra.
In the immediate set after crashing over for his first try of the season, a fired up Horsburgh seemingly had choice words for referee Peter Gough after getting up to play the ball - and the whistleblower didn't want a bar of it.
The referee blew his whistle and handed over possession to Melbourne - much to the bemusement of Horsburgh and his teammates, and the amusement of Storm players.
Melbourne had come out with clear intent to harass Horsburgh in defence.
