NRL: Canberra Raiders have moved on from Gold Coast Titans loss: Ricky Stuart

Canberra coach Ricky Stuart says emotions have been kept in check at the Raiders following their first-round NRL defeat. Stuart also confirmed Joe Tapine would miss up to four weeks after the forward dislocated his thumb against the Titans.

"After playing so well and then losing on the back end of a game, it can knock you around so it's important to deal with it," Stuart said on Friday.

"The more matches he gets the more game time he'll get," Stuart said.

"He'll become more used to the players and more accustomed to that role for us."

I agree entirely with you Sticky and it's why there should have been another trial match for Havili to gain those extra minutes. It is a crucial position. Not to mention our defensive woes. Run down and beaten from 18-0 and then 24-6. Deja vu 2017.

Canberra five-eighth Blake Austin says the Raiders' horror record in tight NRL contests can't be put down to their performance at the end of games. Austin says their video review focused on incidents earlier in the game.

"There were plenty of good things in that game but, unfortunately, we let a couple of errors creep in and we lost control of the possession stat again. The last five or six minutes wasn't exactly where we lost the match on the weekend. So, when we go over everything with a fine comb, we've got to make sure we get every moment in the game."

At least they understand what went on last week.

We lost that Titans game from the 20-60 minute mark. They gifted us a mountain of ball early on, we capitalised on it and then we completely lost the plot. Discipline went out the window and we got our arses handed to us.

The Knights are a much better team than the Titans. This game could get messy.
