Canberra coach Ricky Stuart did not have much time for the media after the Raiders lost 48-2 to the Melbourne Storm on Sunday.
But in the 90 seconds he did speak to the media, he said enough to show how much the game means to him and put a smile on the face of league legend Gorden Tallis.
HEAR GORDEN TALLIS REACT TO RICKY STUART CALLING THE RAIDERS “EMBARRASSING” ON THE FOOTY TALK LEAGUE PODCAST:
Here’s what Stuart said after the loss.
“It was just embarrassing. Absolutely embarrassed,” Stuart said.
“I don’t think I can say much more than that to be honest. It was just a really, really embarrassing performance. We went away after 20 minutes.
“We weren’t prepared to fight for the 80, and they were. We were fighting for a top four spot today and delivered up that crap.
“That’s the embarrassing part. I’m lost for words on a lot of it.”
