LOYALTY OVER LEGACY: Ricky Stuart Rejects $45M Sea Eagles Offer—‘Canberra is My Home!’ NRL Fans, This One’s For You
In an era where big-money moves dominate headlines, Ricky Stuart has just redefined what loyalty means in rugby league. The Canberra Raiders head coach reportedly turned down a jaw-dropping $45 million offer from the Manly Sea Eagles, choosing heart over headlines. Sources reveal the Sea Eagles pitched Stuart a long-term deal to lure him north, aiming to spark a cultural and performance revolution at Brookvale.
But Stuart’s answer was simple and firm: “Canberra is my home.” Having spent over a decade at the Raiders helm, the former premiership-winning halfback remains committed to building success in the capital. “It’s not about the money. It’s about the people, the club, and the journey we’re on,” Stuart said.
The decision has ignited passionate reactions across the NRL community, with fans praising Stuart’s integrity and unwavering belief in the Green Machine. In a league often driven by contracts and corporate gains, Stuart’s loyalty is a refreshing reminder of what the sport’s soul is built on—passion, pride, and purpose.
To the Raiders faithful, your coach just made the ultimate stand. This one’s for you, Canberra. Ricky’s staying green.
