Two very good footy teams. Some outstanding footballers out there. It was an unbelievable spectacle for rugby league. <\/p>\n<p>Raiders Denied winner, AGAIN! | 00:38<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean they\u2019ve got it 100% wrong, but we shouldn\u2019t make it about that because it was an unbelievable promotion of the game itself. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was what both teams, the players went through for 94 minutes, it just goes to show you how tough these players are. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt goes to show you the resilience that rugby league players have got.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It will be difficult for the Raiders to put their heartbreak aside and get back on the horse next week against the Sharks in a sudden death final. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s my job I\u2019ve got to pick me up and them up and we\u2019ve spoken about that,\u201d Stuart said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you\u2019re not hurting right now, you shouldn\u2019t be doing the job. We dust ourselves off and go again. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Found a way&#8217;: Bronx job not finished | 07:20<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve won games like that this year too, you\u2019ve got to remember that. There\u2019s been a number of games we\u2019ve won like that. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI imagine how Ivan and his team were feeling three weeks ago in Mudgee. The way we won that game. So that\u2019s probably our job. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be professional enough to have a day off tomorrow and we\u2019ll get going again.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Stuart is admant he has the team to win it all, despite making it harder ofor themselves. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a strong resolve, it doesn\u2019t increase it, we\u2019ve just got to do it the hard way now,\u201d Stuart said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re a good enough football team but I\u2019ve said a number of times, you need a little bit of luck. <\/p>\n<p>Walsh Stays Down &#8211; PENALTY BRONCOS! | 00:38<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were a little bit of luck tonight, but we\u2019ve got into a position in this competition this year with having some luck on our side.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Stuart praised Josh Papalii for his toughness to play with a sprained ankle after running 97 metres and making 32 tackles. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGot 15 minutes Thursday and got three quarters of the way through yesterday, so he got through on toughness,\u201d Stuart said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was pretty keen to play Jesus. If he couldn\u2019t get through yesterday and was going to be a liability I couldn\u2019t have picked him. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there was no way Papa wasn\u2019t going to let me pick him. But if you\u2019ve seen the vision on how he did his ankle, you\u2019d be amazed in regards to how he\u2019s played.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ricky Stuart was adamant the decision to punish Reece Walsh\u2019s headbutt and Hudson Young\u2019s baiting with the same&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[63,689,21686,4428,4532,97282,8092,8090,13774,37304,53986,43,97278,29584,4485,17340,4746,21376,6407,97279,53580,673,44,677,97281,97280,7291,159,97277,8088,48278,97276,87610,41,39,42,40,97283,4417],"class_list":["post-143204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-ben-hunt","tag-brisbane-broncos","tag-canberra-raiders","tag-double-sin-bin","tag-field-goal","tag-field-goal-attempt","tag-football-team","tag-golden-point","tag-golden-point-epic","tag-headlines","tag-ivan","tag-jesus","tag-joseph-tapine","tag-josh-papalii","tag-mark-st-john","tag-match-winning-field-goal","tag-michael-maguire","tag-minute-sin-bin","tag-mudgee","tag-new-south-wales","tag-news","tag-oceania","tag-penalty-broncos","tag-raiders-skipper","tag-ricky-stuart","tag-rugby-league","tag-rugby-league-players","tag-sin-bin","tag-sin-bin-fiasco","tag-stuart-press-conference","tag-sudden-death-final","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-walsh-flips","tag-zac-hosking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
