Canberra Raiders<\/a> coach Ricky Stuart<\/a> \ufeffhas opened up on the sacrifices made by his captain Elliott Whitehead after the side's come from behind victory<\/a> against the Dragons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whitehead was noticeably below his best, with only five runs for 39 metres but led the side around brilliantly while other second-rower Hudson Young played brilliantly.<\/p>\n

However, there was understandable reason behind the captain's lack of potency in attack as Stuart revealed.<\/p>\n

"Elliott won't tell you, he's been in bed for two days," Stuart said at the post-match press conference.<\/p>\n

"He only trained yesterday, he's lost four or five kilos from a virus he had."<\/p>\n

When asked how he was feeling, Whitehead wasn't giving too much away.<\/p>\n

"Tired, I'm alright," he said. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Along with his praise for the skipper, Stuart was in a mood to applaud his players \ufeffwith fullback Sebastian Kris playing one of his best games in the jersey.<\/p>\n

Kris has stepped up into the role due to the absence of young gun Xavier Savage and scored a try for the Raiders in the win. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"I\ufeff often laugh about the fact that everyone has been so critical of the fact he's not a fullback," Stuart said.<\/p>\n

"He's a footy player, I could play him centre, I could play him wing, I could play him at lock and Sebby gives you 100 per cent.<\/p>\n

"He's getting better and better and he's a great asset to the team."<\/p>\n

The 20-14 win over the Dragons gave Stuart's side a two-match winning streak \ufeffafter shocking the Broncos on April 8 with a 20-14 victory at Suncorp Stadium.<\/p>\n

Canberra will have the bye next week before hosting the Dolphins at Wagga Wagga on April 29. \ufeff<\/p>\n
