Canberra Raiders' Whitehead re-injured calf, out for game against Cronulla Sharks in potential final year.
The Canberra Raiders have confirmed Elliott Whitehead has re-injured his calf after being ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cronulla Sharks.
The Englishman, likely in his final year as an NRL player before hanging up the boots at the end of what has become a nine-year stint at the Raiders which will, fitness pending, tick over 200 games before the season is finished, has only played a single game so far this year.
The absence from the green machine - who have had a successful start to the year - came after he injured his calf prior to Round 1.
