Canberra coach Ricky Stuart stormed out of his press conference after just one question following his team's nailbiting loss to the Warriors.
The Warriors claimed a thrilling 34-31 victory at GIO Stadium, scoring a try at the death then saving one with seconds remaining to hold onto a dramatic three-point win.

"But I can't tell you the truth, I can't tell you the way that game panned out because I would get fined so I'm not going to answer any questions. I've done my job."
At that point the Raiders mentor stood up and walked ou
