Canberra owe their fans after a poor showing against Newcastle that exposed big deficiencies in attack and defence, Jordan Rapana says.

Brushed aside in a 28-6 loss to the Knights, the Raiders repeatedly missed tackles and lacked potency near the opposition try-line as they were battered at home in a result that badly damaged their top-four chances.

Rapana will shift to fullback when Canberra host the Wests Tigers on Sunday so regular No.1 Sebastian Kris can cover the injured Jarrod Croker in the centres.
