Robinson accuses Whitehead of dangerous tackle, Whitehead feels apology was not necessary.

The Canberra Times

Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson has made the extraordinary accusation that Canberra Raiders captain Elliott Whitehead is a serial exponent of the hip-drop tackle.

He was sin-binned and put on report for the tackle, which happened just before half-time.

It was one of the gutsiest defensive efforts the Canberra Raiders have produced.

Twice they were reduced to 12 men. Plus they lost fullback Jordan Rapana to a fractured cheekbone in the first half.

So they tackled themselves to a standstill - making 82 more tackles than the Sydney Roosters - as they held on to win 14-12 at the Sydney Football Stadium on Sunday.
