Stuart's options to boost struggling Raiders
Stuart has limited options to boost struggling Raiders, with Whitehead possibly returning for experience.
The Canberra Times
Ricky Stuart warned the cavalry isn't returning for the Green Machine any time soon, but he does have a couple of options to boost the struggling Canberra Raiders.
Elliott Whitehead, Albert Hopoate, Zac Woolford and Nick Cotric could all be options for the Canberra Raiders side to face Manly at Brookvale on Friday night.
Stuart said Whitehead (calf) could be back for just his second game of the year, replacing Simi Sasagi, which would add valuable experience to a young side that currently only has three players older than 25.

Atkinson explores new positions after limited NRL chances
Debutant Daniel Atkinson shines in his first full game as Sharks crushing Raiders 40-0.
LeagueNews.co
Sharks debutant Daniel Atkinson is ready to take on more action after getting his first taste of playing five-eighth in the NRL.
The rookie admitted that he had considered switching positions to prop in order to get more game time, as he had only seen 19 minutes on the field since his debut last year.
In a display that steered the ladder-leading Sharks to a convincing 40-0 victory against the Raiders, Atkinson partnered with Nicho Hynes in the halves and put on an 80-minute performance.
This felt like a 'real debut' for the 23-year-old, who had previously been used as a utility player coming off the bench or filling in as the 18th man.
