The other brother has now said sorry.
FoxSports boss Steve Crawley has contacted the NRL in support of
Ricky Stuart after conceding the broadcaster crossed the line by getting in the face of the Canberra coach at the weekend.
Stuart is facing sanctions from the NRL after
appearing to swear directly at a camera at GIO Stadium on Sunday afternoon, although there have also been suggestions he said “back off” rather than “f..k off”.
Regardless of the language used, Crawley revealed he had spoken to Stuart and apologised on behalf of FoxSports for invading his personal space.
He also confirmed that he had reached out to Abdo to accept their share of blame for the incident.
“I spoke to Ricky this morning and apologised to him,” Crawley said.
“I also spoke to Andrew Abdo and Graham Annesley.
“I have an agreement with Ricky that we don’t get in his face when he is on the sidelines.
“We’re also writing to (Canberra chief executive) Don Furner to apologise to the club for being in his face.
