Ricky Stuart, the skipper of the Raiders ship, has sworn to steer his Canberra crew back on course after a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Sharks.
The Canberra side was left battered and bruised, suffering a 40-0 thrashing on their home turf.
The Sharks, sitting atop the table, put on a stellar performance, leaving the Raiders in their wake.
Stuart, in a somber mood during the post-match press conference, kept his words brief on the "embarrassing" loss.
"It's like trying to tackle an opponent running at full speed when summing up what just happened out there," Stuart lamented.
The coach will need to rally his troops, tighten up their defense, and focus on playing smarter football to bounce back from this setback.
It's a long season ahead, and the Raiders will need to show grit and determination to turn things around.
