Soiolia backs Raiders to turn around horror start to season

[Raidercast]

Canberra forward Iosia Soliola admits the Raiders' performance against the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles on Saturday was not up to first-grade standard.

A frank Soliola said coach Ricky Stuart's scathing assessment of the side's performance against Manly was an accurate one.

Stuart labelled the side "soft" as the Sea Eagles ran in four first-half tries to set up the victory, sending the Raiders to their worst start to a season since 1997.

Soliola said the Raiders were looking at their four-day turnaround to play the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs as an opportunity rather than a curse, given they don't have time to dwell on their latest loss.
