Raiders duo Cotric, Whitehead return for Warriors clash

The Raiders have been boosted by the return of duo Elliott Whitehead and Nick Cotric for the club’s important clash with the Warriors this Saturday at GIO Stadium.

The pair missed one of Canberra’s best wins of the season last week, a thrilling 20-16 win over the Storm in Melbourne.

Whitehead comes straight back into the second row, with Corey Harawira-Naera moving to the bench and Adam Elliott to start at lock.

Last week’s wingers Jordan Rapana and James Schiller have both been ruled out, with Cotric and Albert Hopate to replace them.

Rapana will miss the next two matches after copping a suspension for a high shot, while Schiller is out for 1-2 weeks with an ankle injury.

Meanwhile, the Warriors have made a huge call with the departing Reece Walsh relegated to the bench.

Chanel Harris-Tevita has been named at fullback with Daejard Asi coming back into the side at five-eighth.
