The Canberra Raiders great was reflecting on his glittering career and his thoughts turned to the tough times - like the occasional run-in with the law and the even rarer dropping to second grade.

Ricky Stuart praises the youthful Canberra Raiders spine, leading them to third place and ten wins.
Ricky Stuart believes the league is seeing a "glimpse of the future" of the Canberra Raiders as his youthful spine continues to propel the club up the premiership ladder.

Just one converted try separates the team from being the overall top point scorers so far this season, with Melbourne leading the way with 366 points.
