**\$29.5 MILLION? KEEP IT.**
Ricky Stuart just sent a message louder than any contract figure: loyalty still matters. The Canberra Raiders coach reportedly turned down massive multi-year offers from both the Manly Sea Eagles and the Penrith Panthers — deals that could’ve banked him up to \$29.5 million. But Ricky didn’t flinch. His eyes aren’t on the money — they’re on the mission.
For Stuart, Canberra isn’t just a club. It’s home. It’s where he once wore the green jersey with pride as a player, and now leads the charge as head coach with passion, grit, and unshakable belief. While other coaches might chase paydays, Ricky’s chasing glory — not for himself, but for a city, a fanbase, and a team that bleeds green.
He’s not interested in building dynasties elsewhere. He’s building one right here in the nation’s capital. And with moves like this, he’s not just winning hearts — he’s creating a legacy. In an era where loyalty often takes a back seat, Ricky Stuart just made it clear: Canberra is where his heart is. And he’s not leaving until the job is done.
Keep the money. He’s all in for the
Raiders.
