Ricky Stuart<\/a> has called for answers from NRL CEO Andrew Abdo after his side was on the wrong end of the six again-count, as well as a costly obstruction call that denied the Canberra Raiders<\/a> a crucial try against Manly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a nightmare trip to Brookvale Oval, everything seemed to be falling apart for the Raiders as Manly surged to a \ufeff40-12 victory in front of a home crowd.<\/p>\n

A game-changing moment late in the first half left Stuart pleading for an answer as the consistency of match officials comes back into question.<\/p>\n

Before either team had scored, Seb Kris raced away after a short pass from halfback Jamal Fogarty and weaved around Lehi Hopoate to plant the ball down.<\/p>\n

But the centre's brilliant effort was overturned by the Bunker, which ruled Corey Horsburgh had obstructed Manly skipper Daly Cherry-Evans<\/a> in the build up to the try.<\/p>\n

\"Ricky<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe Bunker's ruling declared Horsburgh's interference opened a hole in Manly's defence meaning the try as not to be awarded.<\/p>\n

Canberra hooker Tom Starling delivered a cheeky response to referee Grant Atkins after the decision was ruled<\/p>\n

"You've got to be consistent then," he said.<\/p>\n

Starling's comments were not taken lightly by Atkins.<\/p>\n

"The side eye from Grant Atkins, that was worth the price of admission itself," Warren Smith said on Fox League.<\/p>\n

Stuart brought up \ufeffthe decision during his press conference.<\/p>\n

"What did you think \ufeffof the decision of having our try disallowed?" he asked reporters.<\/p>\n

"After 20 minutes of having no football and we get a set around halfway and we score a wonderful try (and it's disallowed). It's really difficult coaching when you don't know the rules, you don't know interpretations because I've got no idea."<\/p>\n

\"Ricky<\/p>\n

Stuart said the "whole game changed" in that moment.<\/p>\n

"I wasted two days coming up here," he said.<\/p>\n

Canberra conceded 10 penalties to four, while they were punished for six ruck infringements to Manly's one. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Stuart wasn't happy when discussing those figures. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI don't think there is a football team in the competition that is going to defend those statistics," Stuart said.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI'm not allowed to talk about the ref, but I hope Andrew Abdo has an answer for us all.<\/p>\n

"When you look at it statistically, we had to make 200 and something tackles in the first half to 70. \ufeffYou can't be ahead on the scoreboard with that."<\/p>\n

\"Corey<\/p>\n

Horsburgh \ufeffwas also sin-binned later for not getting onside after a six again call. It lead to 24 points for Manly in the first half.<\/p>\n

Stuart refused to comment on whether he believed it was correct. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"\ufeffThey'll tell me it was correct, it doesn't matter," 58-year-old said.<\/p>\n

"I'm better off not answering questions. (It was) massive, when you've got those \ufeffstatistics and one player taken off."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
