The incident has sparked controversy and criticism directed at Stuart for his response to the tackle.
Some NRL fans have called him out for not condemning the dangerous play and instead defending his player.
Stuart's comments have been seen as dismissive of the severity of the tackle and lacking in accountability.
This has led to frustration and disappointment among fans who believe in fair play and player safety.
Critics argue that Stuart should have taken a stronger stance against the tackle and shown support for Katoa, the injured player.
They believe that his response sends the wrong message to players and undermines the importance of player welfare.
The NRL has yet to comment on the incident or Stuart's response, but it is expected that they will investigate the tackle further to ensure player safety is upheld.
