Blow for Raiders as prized import faces three months out
Canberra's Matty Nicholson faces three months out due to an ankle injury, disrupting their NRL prospects.

Back-rower Nicholson has been a revelation since arriving at Canberra from Super League club Warrington over the off-season.
The 21-year-old Yorkshireman has made a spot on the Raiders' right edge his own, registering five tries in nine games.
But Nicholson is now staring at a prolonged absence from the NRL after sustaining an ankle injury and fracture to his fibula in last weekend's loss to Canterbury.
