Dragons weigh up shock play for rival star… and it could force Gutho move<\/a><\/p>\nKnights stun Raiders in Newcastle | 02:45<\/p>\n
For that to happen though, Stuart detailed what tough conversations will need to be had.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey might be as concerned at the moment, the players. A lot of those boys are young and have never been in this situation before, so I\u2019ve got to lead them out of it and I need the senior players like Joe (Tapine) to help me with that,\u201d Stuart said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re a solid group so we\u2019ll stick together and keep working our way out of it. Obviously, it\u2019s been a tough stretch.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not about me going in there ranting and raving and trying to make yourself happy because you\u2019re ranting and raving and pointing out everything is going wrong. It\u2019s about as a collective group just sticking together and working hard towards the quality of football I know we\u2019re capable of.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just not winning the moments in the game and there were some poor passages of play. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be better in areas of those games. If we want to win little moments and scenarios in 80 minutes, we\u2019ve got to be better.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Raiders\u2019 next chance to get their season back on track will be a tough task.<\/p>\n
Canberra will be one of four teams to travel to Perth next weekend with Stuart\u2019s side to tackle the in-form Rabbitohs on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has urged his players to \u201cstick together\u201d after his side dropped to 1-4 to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":586920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,689,4532,763,5332,761,762,4495,158,677,46,668,46025,104453,7291,100733,287099,17989,62647,85,287098,3439],"class_list":{"0":"post-586919","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-australia-and-new-zealand","11":"tag-canberra-raiders","12":"tag-fox-league","13":"tag-losing-streak","14":"tag-national-rugby-league","15":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","16":"tag-newcastle-knights","17":"tag-nrl","18":"tag-oceania","19":"tag-perth","20":"tag-press-conference","21":"tag-professional-foul","22":"tag-raiders-press-conference","23":"tag-ricky-stuart","24":"tag-rickys","25":"tag-season-hole","26":"tag-senior-players","27":"tag-sides-loss","28":"tag-sports","29":"tag-tense-respose","30":"tag-western-australia"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=586919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/586920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=586919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=586919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=586919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
