We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have been dealt a blow ahead of their Round 13 clash against the Newcastle Knights, with scans confirming that Jake Trbojevic has suffered a torn calf injury.
The star forward is expected to be out for up to six weeks, leaving a significant gap in the Sea Eagles' pack.
Adding to their woes, Ben Trbojevic is also set to be sidelined for an extended period due to a hamstring tear sustained in the win over the Canberra Raiders.
Injury and the NRL's risky judiciary system has prompted Elliott Whitehead to enter a "no contest" plea to a dangerous contact charge, resulting in him being banned for two weeks.
Whitehead was slapped with two charges after the loss to Manly last weekend - a grade one dangerous contact charge and a grade one careless high tackle.
He opted to accept a two-game suspension instead of paying the $3000 fine for one of the charges following his hit on Josh Schuster.
Canberra Raiders Captain Elliott Whitehead has faced charges from the NRL Match Review committee after their match against Manly on Sunday.
The Raiders have reported that Whitehead has made a decision on the two charges.
He has pleaded no contest to the grade one dangerous contact charge, which will result in him serving a two-match suspension.
