Whitehead shining in lime green, critical to Raiders' future success with two tries and assist.
It's one of his best games in lime green, but more importantly Elliott Whitehead's return has been labelled a crucial cog in the development of the Canberra Raiders' generation next.
Whitehead scored two tries and set up another as he turned back the clock to lead the Raiders to a 26-24 victory over Manly at Brookvale on Friday night.
It's the fourth time in his NRL career the 34-year-old has scored two tries in a game and the first time he's done it since 2018.
