Veteran coach Ricky Stuart will not unload on his charges despite Canberra slumping to their ninth loss of the season, leaving the Raiders with a mountain to climb to make the finals.
Stuart's men were beaten 15-12 by Parramatta at CommBank Stadium on Saturday and now need to win eight of their 10 matches to go past the regular season.
Last year's minor premiers were kept scoreless for 61 minutes against the Eels, and also failed to score against the Roosters last week. Prior to that, they failed to score a try in the final 20 minutes of their win over the Cowboys.
Stuart described his team's attack as predictable.
"We addressed our attack at halftime and I don't want to take anything away from Parramatta's defence," Stuart said.
