The Raiders coach did not hold back after being told Des Hasler felt his Gold Coast side was harshly treated by officials in Sunday’s game between the teams.
Ricky Stuart says Des Hasler is “on another planet” after the Gold Coast coach blasted the refereeing in his side’s golden-point loss to Canberra.
Stuart fired back and accused the Titans of “cheating” by wrestling his players for extended periods while they attempted to play the ball, suggesting they could have received “another 10 or 12” set restarts. The Dragons have tabled Sunia Turuva a three-year deal with the option to vie for the club’s fullback jersey as the Panthers prepare an 11th-hour bid to keep the premiership winner.
Turuva’s management will meet with the Panthers this week to gauge their position, but it’s highly unlikely Penrith will be able to get near the financial terms on offer from rivals such as the Dragons.and Taylan May on big-money deals. Talks between St George Illawarra and Su’A’s management have been ongoing since early this year, but both parties agreed to put them on hold until after the first month of the season.
“There are a lot of injuries, so you’ve got to be able to cover positions. So, wherever I have to play, I’m happy to do it.”“I like lock, I like the freedom of lock, defending in the middle is good too, I don’t mind that, but I enjoy playing hooker as well, I enjoy playing centre. I just love playing footy. I like the challenge, it’s different all the time, you never know what you’re going to get. I sound like Forrest Gump,” he laughs.
