Raiders skipper Elliott Whitehead has taken a light-hearted jab at Roosters coach Trent Robinson following their heated clash on the field.
Whitehead, who was sin binned twice during Canberra's victory over the Roosters, found himself in the firing line of Robinson's post-match comments, particularly regarding a tackle that resulted in an ACL injury to Brandon Smith.
Despite Robinson's refusal to accept Whitehead's apology, Smith reassured Raiders player Jordan Rapana that he holds no grudges over the incident.
Whitehead, a proud UK international, also found himself in hot water for a boot lashing incident on Angus Crichton, resulting in a fine.
Taking to social media, Whitehead shared a video of the Crichton incident with a cheeky nod to a classic English game commentary, adding a touch of humor to the tense situation.
The playful banter serves as a reminder that in the world of Rugby League, on-field clashes can sometimes spill over into off-field banter.
