‘Tough teams pull it back’: Ricky rips into embarrassing Raiders... even roasting their one good act

Ricky Stuart was disappointed in his team's performance in Round 16 loss to Tigers.

Fox League

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart was extremely unhappy with his side's performance in their Round 16 loss to the Wests Tigers.

Asked in the post-game press conference about his side's recent slow starts, Stuart explained Canberra are "not a tough football team at the moment."

Stuart's side were out of the contest from pretty much the opening minutes of the game, with Lachlan Galvin scoring the Tigers' first try in the third minute.

By half-time, Canberra were down 18-2, though the deficit could have been greater given the Tigers had three tries disallowed in the first 40.

It was much of the same in the second half, with Benji Marshall's side scoring the second period's first four tries, including one right after the interval.
