Ricky Stuart criticized Corey Horsburgh's sin bin as a "brain explosion," impacting the Raiders' chances against the Knights.
Ricky Stuart has expressed his frustration over a pivotal moment in the match against Newcastle, describing Corey Horsburgh's sin bin incident as a "fu***** brain explosion."
With under ten minutes remaining and trailing by four points, the Canberra Raiders were presented with a crucial chance to equalize when referee Ashley Klein awarded them a penalty against the Knights.
However, the situation quickly changed when the Bunker intervened, reviewing the incident and determining that Horsburgh had made illegal contact with Dane Gagai.
This overturned call not only sent Horsburgh to the sin bin, leaving the Raiders a player down, but also significantly damaged their chances of qualifying for this year's finals series.
