Canberra fans will have to wait for Ricky Stuart's thoughts on their brave 2020 NRL campaign after the coach walked out on his post-match press conference.
That's all coach Ricky Stuart could tolerate before abruptly walking out of a press conference after Canberra was overpowered 30-10 by Melbourne in Friday night's NRL preliminary final.
Eyebrows were raised when Stuart didn't make himself available to media until almost an hour after the loss that snapped Canberra's five-game winning run and ended their brave quest to book back-to-back grand finals. He appeared composed when he answered the opening question, showering Melbourne with praise for the win set up by a point-a-minute 24-0 first half blitz.Which made his sudden exit while reporters attempted a follow-up query all the more surprising.
