\u201cBut it was certainly a completely different game tonight on the ground, where so much of the football is played after tackles. But it was completely different. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d prefer it that way, but I\u2019d prefer it to be the same for both.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt there was a lot more time in the tackle on the ground tonight in a number of certain tackles. But it\u2019d be just nice to know if that\u2019s going to be the way we\u2019re going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Raiders win was soured by a calf injury to Josh Papalii, with Stuart saying his was doubtful for Round 8. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think he would be doubtful for next week,\u201d Stuart said. <\/p>\n
Bellamy on where Storm are going wrong | 06:20<\/p>\n
Despite his issues with the refereeing, Stuart rated the performance his side\u2019s best of the season as they secured back-to-back wins. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a tough game,\u201d Stuart said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI said it before the game, I think it\u2019s going to be a good game of football. It was certainly that, it was a tough game and I think it was our best 80 minutes of the season.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ricky Stuart was frustrated with a number of calls and the ruck interpretation in the Raiders\u2019 26-22 victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":613741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[64,63,20211,5340,4532,28019,4457,241053,17340,4746,4466,287795,7291,297933,85,158525,152786,87670],"class_list":{"0":"post-613740","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-back-to-back-wins","11":"tag-calf-injury","12":"tag-canberra-raiders","13":"tag-contract-move","14":"tag-corey-horsburgh","15":"tag-defends-club","16":"tag-josh-papalii","17":"tag-mark-st-john","18":"tag-melbourne-storm","19":"tag-peter-gough","20":"tag-ricky-stuart","21":"tag-ruck-interpretation","22":"tag-sports","23":"tag-tough-game","24":"tag-try-call","25":"tag-young-star"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613740","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=613740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/613741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
