“You’re allowed to headbutt”: Stuart blasts new precedent, Carrigan to sweat on MRC

Ricky Stuart criticized match officials for not sending off Reece Walsh for a headbutt.

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart didn't want to take away from one of the greatest games in recent memory, but couldn't help but feel the match officials got it "100 per cent wrong" when Reece Walsh wasn't sent off for a headbutt.

The Brisbane fullback spent ten minues in the sin bin during the second half of the game for a headbutt on Hudson Young, who was also sin binned in the same incident for holding onto Walsh, leading to the push and shove between the two teams.

"It doesn't matter what I think about it," Stuart said during his post-match press conference when asked about the Walsh-Young incident.

"They have set a precedent now. You're allowed to headbutt."
