Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has given a blunt assessment of his team's performance in their 18-12 loss to the Dragons at WIN Stadium on Saturday night, labelling their second half as "dumb".

Stuart said the Raiders didn't play well in the conditions.

"I'm disappointed about the result," Stuart said.
