St George Illawarra are scratching around for confidence, Benji Marshall admits, as the joint-venture desperately try to keep their NRL season alive.The Dragons have won just three of their last eight fixtures and slumped to their third successive loss to Wests Tigers on Sunday.The joint venture remain in finals contention, sitting two points outside the top eight with six rounds remaining.But star playmaker Marshall, who has struggled with a hamstring injury for much of the year, knows they have to turn things around quickly.We have definitely made it tough for ourselves and probably got a lot of people on our backs because of it, Marshall said.But we need to stick together as a team and find out what is going to turn it around.We just need that one moment to click our confidence into gear. Because I will be honest with you we are lacking confidence in a lot of areas of the game.Whether that is due to outside noise or outside pressure or (being) scared to make a mistake or the pressure of where we are on the table, we just need something to go our way, something to turn the season around and that is going to be hard work.Marshall said his side were letting themselves down in key moments.We need to be better, we need to be tougher in those moments when the game is in the balance. We are not toughening those moments out, he said.The Wests Tigers premiership winner admitted he was struggling to overcome his injury troubles.It is very frustrating because it is hard to get consistency and timing, he said.For me it has been a bit of a step forward and then a step back and then starting again and trying to get through games not worrying about injury.You might think you are not worrying about it but it is the back of your head there.

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Raiders are likely to be without starting right tackle Menelik Watson and a key backup for their home opener.Watson missed practice Friday because of a groin injury suffered early in Oaklands opening week win over New Orleans. Matt McCants, who replaced Watson briefly, went down with a knee injury and has been sidelined since.Both linemen are listed as doubtful on the Raiders injury report.Austin Howard, who was inactive against the Saints with an ankle injury suffered in the Raiders final preseason game, is expected to start in place of Watson. Howard started 13 games at right tackle in 2015 after playing right guard the previous season.Hes ready to go, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said.The Raiders season-opening win took its toll on the offensive line.Watson and McCants injuries set off a domino effect that wound up with Donald Penn moving from left tackle to right guard, left guard Kelechi Osemele moving to left tackle and Jon Feliciano coming off the bench to plug the gap at left guard.Center Rodney Hudson and right guard Gabe Jackson also missed time this week with knee injuries but both made it through two consecutive days of practice and are questionable to play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.Del Rio noted earlier this week that the situation in New Orleans had gotten so dire that the Raiders were prepared to use tight end Lee Smith if another injury to the front five had occurred.Oakland should be better prepared to handle things this week. Seventh-round draft pickk Vadal Alexander, who was also inactive against the Saints, practiced at both guard and tackle during the preseason and is an option should more injuries occur.dddddddddddd.Were ready to adjust as we need to, Del Rio said. Weve got good depth, have a good coach working the group. Well be ready to roll.Despite all of the injuries and shuffling up front, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was not sacked and was hit only three times when dropping back to pass.Part of that was due to Penn and Osemele, who continued to play well after changing positions.Osemele, in particular, stood out and made a pivotal block that helped spring rookie running back Jaylen Richard free on his 75-yard touchdown. The 6-foot-5-inch, 330-pound was Oaklands prized free agent addition in the offseason after signing a five-year contract for more than $58 million.Hes a violent football player, Carr said. One of, if not the most, violent football players Ive ever been around, seen, played with, played against, all the above. You love for a guy like that to be protecting you. So, the run game and all that, it helps that but at the same time, I love that hes blocking for me too. It makes me feel safe.Game notes KR/RB Taiwan Jones (concussion) practiced for a second straight day and is questionable.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
