Ricky Stuart criticizes Raiders for squandering lead, calls them embarrassing and dismal, missed opportunity.
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has unloaded on his players after they squandered an 18-0 lead against the Sharks to lose 36-22.
Cronulla came into the match significantly understrength with Stuart stating "that was half of Newtown in there" in reference to the Sharks' feeder side.
In a stinging assessment of his team, Stuart referred to them as "embarrassing" and "dismal" after they blew an opportunity to go top of the table.
