Canberra coach Ricky Stuart has copped a one-game ban and fined $25,000 for calling Penrith's Jaeman Salmon a "weak-gutted dog".

NRL boss Andrew Abdo delivered the sanction on Tuesday afternoon, confirming Stuart won't be allowed to lead his Raiders into their crunch clash against St George Illawarra on Sunday.

Stuart's ban, the first time an NRL coach has been suspended for comments at a press conference, means he won't be allowed to even train the Raiders until next Wednesday.
