Canberra Raiders Captain Elliott Whitehead has taken the early guilty plea on all three charges at the NRL Judiciary. This means he receives a 3 match suspension.

Whitehead has been charged with a grade three dangerous contact charge on Roosters hooker Brandon Smith. If Whitehead takes the early guilty plea he faces a 3 match ban. If he fights the charge and loses he faces a four match ban.
Whitehead has also been charged with a grade one contrary conduct charge and a grade one dangerous contact (tripping) charge. Both of these offences come with fines for early pleas.
