Raiders' Whitehead charged with dangerous contact, faces 3-4 game suspension for incident with Roosters' Smith.
Raiders.com.au has confirmed that Canberra Raiders skipper Elliott Whitehead is in hot water after getting charged by the NRL Match Review Committee.
Whitehead is facing a grade three dangerous contact charge for an incident involving Roosters hooker Brandon Smith.
If he chooses to take the early guilty plea, he'll be looking at a three-game sideline stint.
However, if he decides to contest the charge and doesn't come out on top, he could cop a four-game ban.
