'Mentally weak' Raiders desperately search for answers

Canberra hooker Zac Woolford has lashed his side's woeful display in a 53-12 humbling at the hands of Penrith, suggesting his Raiders hadn't played at an NRL standard.

Woolford agreed with his captain Elliott Whitehead's assessment that the performance was embarrassing and questioned the mental fortitude of the Raiders, who were in the game at halftime before leaking seven tries in a shocking second half.

It was the Raiders' biggest loss since a 42-point flogging against New Zealand in 2014, with prop Josh Papali'i the only player from Friday's loss who was in that lineup.

Cameron Smith is in full belief that despite their 41-point loss to the Panthers, the Canberra Raiders can still make the top eight.

Down by one point heading into the second half, the Raiders allowed the Panthers to score 40 unanswered points in 40 minutes.

This performance wasn't only embarrassing for the club but has caused worrying signs in their hopes of reaching the finals this season.
