Ricky Stuart has accused Canberra of lacking toughness, claiming his players are taking too many soft options as their NRL season slips away. Their 48-24 loss to Wests Tigers on Sunday continued a worrying run for the Raiders, who now have the fourth-worst defensive record in the competition. Sunday’s flogging at Campbelltown also marked another slow start, down 18-0 before halftime and 42-8 in the second half before three late tries while the Tigers had a man in the sin-bin.

” Stuart also claimed his team were unable to fight back into the game, as only “tough people and teams pull it back”. He also savaged the side for only being able to score points against the Tigers while they had 12 men, making clear he did not believe the 48-24 scoreline summed up how poor his team were. “Don’t see as any type of praise,” Stuart said. “If we can’t score tries against 12 men, we’re in a bad position. Don’t get too excited about the fact we scored tries when the game was over.
