Why Raiders star asked to be relegated to NSW Cup

Raiders winger Savelio Tamale voluntarily moves to NSW Cup to regain form and confidence after a recent performance.

Raiders star Savelio Tamale has reached out to head coach Ricky Staurt to be dropped to NSW Cup to reclaim his spark and to get back to his brilliant-best after the side's win in Perth on Saturday.

A unique scenario where Tamale pulled up short just before scoring a long-range try spearheaded it, with many speculating if it was a showboating effort, or whether he just accidentally stumbled and almost bombed a 4-pointer.

Turns out the gifted winger just needs to reignite his kindle, with him and Stuart coming to the agreement that for the short-term success of the Raiders, it's best for the team if he goes back to NSW Cup to help regain confidence. 

It is a courageous call from the young Dragons junior and shows great maturity to make a selfless decision like this.
