Canberra coach Ricky Stuart admits it was "too risky" fighting Nick Cotric's dangerous throw charge as the club home in on their second NRL finals appearance in seven years.
A fired-up Stuart initially said he would fight any charges from Cotric's spear tackle on St George Illawarra centre Tim Lafai last week, but the club accepted a three-game ban on Tuesday.
Stuart said he needed his best players available at the business end of the season and didn't want to lose NSW representative Cotric for any additional games.
