The Raiders slumped to a 25-4 loss to Wests Tigers at Canberra Stadium yesterday, leaving them 14th on the NRL ladder.

In what was easily their most lacklustre performance of the season, the Raiders conceded four tries and managed to score just one, despite enjoying superior field position for most of the game.

The home team was guilty of a glut of handling errors in the slippery conditions, while Tigers halfback Tim Moltzen's two tries were among the softest Canberra has conceded all year.

Moltzen waltzed straight through the Raiders defence to score his team's first try untouched between the posts, before intercepting a Josh Dugan pass and sprinting 90m to complete a first-half double.

But the most alarming aspect of the performance was the Raiders' failure to create points.

More than 60per cent of yesterday's game was played in the Tigers' defensive half, while the Raiders had more than three times as many sets in attacking positions.

But their only try came from a cross-field kick to centre Joel Monaghan, which landed in the path of rookie winger Daniel Vidot.

It is a play Canberra has become too reliant on, with its only try against Newcastle two weeks ago scored in very similar circumstances.

While Furner admitted his halves had been guilty of failing to force repeat sets yesterday, he said it was his team's handling errors that really blunted its attack.

''I can't fully blame that we weren't able to get repeat sets,'' Furner said.
