Ricky Stuart has unleashed a scathing tirade in his classic post-game press conference following a heartbreaking loss for the Raiders against the Sharks.
The Canberra coach did not hold back, labeling the defeat as "embarrassing" and "abysmal", and even took a swipe at a journalist who dared to praise one of his players.
When asked about the performance of Raiders No.
3 Matt Timoko, Stuart quickly shut down any notion of individual brilliance on the night.
"Nobody was solid tonight, mate.
There wasn't a player on the team that was solid.
Don't be giving praise to people that don't deserve it," he bluntly stated.
In true Ricky fashion, he made it clear that the team's downfall was not due to complacency or rotations, but rather the lackluster performances of certain individuals.
The fiery coach certainly didn't mince his words as he lamented the missed opportunities and disappointing display on the field.
In a league where every match counts and every point matters, Stuart's frustration was palpable as he dissected the disheartening loss with a mix of tough love and brutal honesty.
The road ahead may be rocky for the Raiders, but with Stuart leading the charge, they'll surely be aiming to bounce back stronger than ever.
