The Canberra Raiders and Head Coach Ricky Stuart recognise and accept the sanction handed down by the NRL today, following comments in last weekend’s post-match press conference.
The NRL has fined Stuart $25,000 and suspended him for one week. This means he will not be available to coach the team against the St George-Illawarra Dragons this Sunday at GIO Stadium Canberra.
The Raiders assistant coaches will take charge of the team during this period and for the game on Sunday afternoon.
