Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart is confident his under-fire players have put a raft of off-field distractions behind them ahead of their crunch game against Newcastle. Stuart has been impressed with how the group have reacted on the training track this week as they look to end a four-game losing streak when they take on the Knights at Wagga Wagga on Saturday. They've had several off-field distractions, with the Raiders confirming Josh Hodgson stepped down as co-captain, a player's wife criticising Stuart on social media and then revelations England international George Williams was struggling with homesickness. But they've dealt with it all internally and Stuart was buoyed with the effort at training. They'll look to get their season back on track when they run out against the Knights in front of a sold-out crowd.
