We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Raiders' wet captain's run won't improve gameplay but may boost mindset for upcoming games.
The Canberra Raiders' mega-wet captain's run didn't help them much with their football, but it should help get their mindset right.
They did their final session on "half a lake" the day after they put in their submission to be part of the NRL's Las Vegas season opener 2.0.
Stuart was hopeful they'd get the lime green light to be part of the second batch of teams to play in Sin City.
Coach Stuart resists changes after loss, keeping line-up mostly unchanged for next game.
Coach Ricky Stuart says he resisted the urge to make mass team changes after Canberra's NRL capitulation against Cronulla because their second-grade performance was "just as bad".
Instead of overhauling a line-up that threw away an 18-0 lead in an error-riddled display at Shark Park, Stuart opted for just one forced change ahead of Sunday's home clash with Parramatta to give his side a chance to prove it was an atypical performance.
In-form second-rower Zac Hosking (head knock) is the only exclusion, with former Newcastle talent Simi Sasagi named on the bench in his place.

Harawira-Naera suffered seizure, diagnosed with heart condition, fitted with defibrillator, during Rabbitohs game.
When Corey Harawira-Naera suffered a seizure mid-game against the Rabbitohs in Round 13 last year, it was one of the more distressing images I have witnessed in 35 years of commentating.
It's obviously not on the scale of Alex McKinnon and John Farragher, but it was a worrying sight nonetheless.
Harawira-Naera was diagnosed with an underlying heart condition and has been fitted with a defibrillator under his arm.
