We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Elliott Whitehead is close. Not to mention desperate to play in fellow Canberra Raiders co-captain Jarrod Croker's 300th NRL game.
He's doing everything he can to be fit for Croker Week - aka playing the New Zealand Warriors at Canberra Stadium on Friday night.
Whitehead injured his pectoral muscle against the Manly Sea Eagles in round 12 and was expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
He's viewed by many as the one that got away and Wellington Hurricanes coach Jason Holland has declared Tyrel Lomax is determined to show why on Saturday.
The prop will return to Canberra for Saturday's quarter-final against the ACT Brumbies.
Lomax is the son of former New Zealand Kiwis and Canberra Raiders prop John Lomax and was part of the ACT pathway before playing for the Junior Wallabies.
The NRL has conceded a bunker blunder in Canberra's one-point win over Wests Tigers, saying Raider halfback Jamal Fogarty's second try shouldn't have been awarded.
Canberra edged the Tigers 20-19 on Friday night at GIO Stadium but the NRL's head of football Graham Annesley on Monday said a 48th minute try given to the home side should instead have being a Tigers' penalty.
He also said the penalty in the 76th minute was correct against Tigers second-rower Isaiah Papali'i, who took out Fogarty's legs as he attempted a field goal.
