Stuart calls for 'brave' NRL to crackdown on wrestling
« on: August 16, 2019, 01:08:57 PM »
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has called on the NRL to be brave enough to clean up the game and stamp out illegal wrestling tactics. Even before a Storm erupted over Melbourne's ability to slow down the play-the-ball, Stuart was bracing for what's coming in their top-four blockbuster in Melbourne on Saturday. The Storm have been in the crosshairs this week after South Sydney football manager Shane Richardson blew up over some of their tactics - the use of elbows when carrying the ball and also prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona's crusher tackle. It happens every year in the lead-up to finals - the Storm's control of the ruck gets put under the spotlight. Stuart said it shouldn't just be the Storm being scrutinised, but he wants the NRL to act to clean up the game.
