Zac Hosking impresses, could replace injured captain in starting role for Canberra Raiders. Whitehead returning soon.
Canberra Raiders recruit Zac Hosking is only two games into his three-year contract but has already made a strong case to unseat captain Elliott Whitehead in the starting role in the second row.
A fortnight ago Whitehead dropped out of the 17 and was reportedly set to miss three to four weeks with a calf injury.
However, there is a chance the Englishman could return as early as this Friday night - which would be two-and-a-half weeks - when the Raiders face the Warriors in Christchurch, depending on how he's tracking in the coming days in New Zealand.
