Ben Creagh says the Dragons will need a team effort to break Canberra hoodoo Big Red V skipper Ben Creagh. ST GEORGE Illawarra skipper Ben Creagh doesn't duck the tough questions as James Hooper asks what's going wrong with the big red V. What do you make of all the criticism of the club's attack The statistics don't make good reading from last season. Is it fair or is it over the top? If you look at the stats it's fair, we haven't scored enough points. How do you fix it? It's just those last-play executions we've got to get better at. We were close last week many times, but we weren't good enough. Is the problem the halves? That's where everyone always points the finger. I reckon it's a cop-out when people go straight for them. They're easy targets, especially at our club. It's not just on the No. 6 and No. When you've got 13 players on the field, you need all 13 players getting their timing right, being in position at the right time and it all comes back on the full 13. We've done the video, we know where we went wrong at all areas of the park, not just with the halves, and we're trying to fix it for this weekend. You haven't won in Canberra since round 22, 2000. Is the hoodoo a factor? It's been a long time. It would be nice to go down and put a really good 80 minutes together. I think we need to. After our first two games there's a lot of motivation there and a bit of personal pride and team pride to put in a good performance. The scoreline last week (against Brisbane) blew out at the end, but we're not far away. Is the talk about your coach Steve Price being a short-priced favourite to be the first coach sacked a distraction? The main thing I try to do is just get everyone focused on training and what' s in front of them, not worrying about external factors like that which could be bothering players. Is this one of the biggest individual challenges of your career to captain the Dragons through a tough time? Yeah, it is. Any time you string losses together it's going to be tough, especially for the older guys who have responsibility to set the standard and be doing the right thing around the club. That's part and parcel of being a captain and being one of the more experienced guys in the side. You need to lead the team around, get wins and perform well. We need to do that soon. After the Broncos loss, people reckoned you had enough ball to win two games. Having watched the video, was that unfair comment? We've reviewed the video and seen what's gone wrong and we're just trying to get it right for this weekend. We had our chances and we probably should have scored a few more points.
