Many people have condemned Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart for his recent outburst of intemperate language after his team was defeated by an understrength Penrith (“Stuart suspended after ‘weak-gutted dog’ spray“, CW 11 August p22).

Having met Ricky several times, I have the strong impression that he is a rather excitable person, and supremely loyal to his club and team. For those reasons, I would be inclined to forgive him and get on with the game.
