The biggest smiles of the night for Penrith came in the final minute when Jaemon Salmon put a bookend on last year's "weak-gutted dog" saga with an emphatic message to sledging fans at Canberra Stadium.

"I just said 'weak-gutted dog'. I think it was pretty obvious. Just a bit of fun," Salmon said of his emotional bark after scoring a try to put the Panthers beyond 50 points.

Salmon said Raiders supporters on Friday night had been reminding him of last year's dramatic Ricky Stuart press conference that led to the coach being fined and suspended one match.

Raiders coach Ricky Stuart cut a forlorn figure in the post-match press conference as he apologised to the club’s fans after their heavy 53-12 defeat to the Panthers at GIO Stadium.

Stuart wasn’t in much of a mood to answer questions on what was said to his side in the sheds after the game, preferring to keep that “in-house”.

Instead, he expressed his “disappointment” and forecasted he and the club are in for a “tough week”.

It took the opening 10 minutes of the second half for the Canberra Raiders to lose last week - this week it took 13.

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart apologised to the fans for another woeful second half that saw the Green Machine get mauled by the Penrith Panthers 53-12 at Canberra Stadium on Friday night.

To make matters worse, Raiders five-eighth Matt Frawley broke his hand in the final few plays of the game and will miss 6-8 weeks - further stretching Canberra's stocks ahead of their tough trip to Brisbane to face the ladder-leading Broncos.
