Like a disease it's spreading. Until now the Canberra Raiders' big losses had been confined to home. Now they're happening on the road as well.
That inability to get in the grind and tough out games when they're on the back foot makes it hard to see them having any impact in the NRL finals - if they make it.
The super-tight nature of the ladder means that will be an ask in itself, with games against top-eight sides Brisbane and Cronulla still to come.
