Emirates Western Force hooker Ben Whittaker has been cleared of serious injury after being forced from the field in the first half of the club’s win against the Bulls in Perth on Saturday night.
Whittaker was replaced after 21 minutes holding his left shoulder and was in a sling following the game however scans have revealed only minor damage to his AC Joint and he is expected to be sidelined between a week and 10 days.
It is a great result for the in-form front rower who has been a mainstay of the side since breaking into the match day 22 in round six last season. He recently re-signed with the Emirates Western Force for a further two seasons and has shared the throwing duties with fellow up and comer Nathan Charles.
