Canberra Raiders winger Jordan Rapana has been charged for “dangerous contact” by the NRL Match Review Committee after kicking an opponent’s head during Sunday evening’s match against the Sydney Roosters.
In the first half of Canberra’s 22-16 victory at GIO Stadium, Rapana was brought down in a tackle by two players while Roosters lock Egan Butcher held onto his leg.
The 32-year-old retaliated by sticking out his boot, striking Butcher in the face and drawing blood.
