Ricky Stuart criticized the NRL's bunker for ruining try celebrations, highlighting two denied tries during the Raiders' 26-22 victory over Melbourne.

Coach Ricky Stuart has taken aim at the NRL's bunker, saying it's become too hard to celebrate a try after Canberra were denied twice because of the video referee.

The Raiders stayed strong to defeat Melbourne 26-22 at GIO Stadium on Friday night, and although Stuart labelled it the best 80 minutes of the Green Machine's season, he was left fuming at the bunker.

It came after Hudson Young looked like he had scored in the opening minutes, but his try was scratched after a lengthy review found an accidental offside.

Zac Hosking's late four-pointer was also chalked off after Young had tackled Storm fullback Sua Fa'alogo high in the lead-up.
