Canberra's big win over Warriors is dimmed by charges against Tapine and Savage for infractions.
Canberra's thumping win over the Warriors in Las Vegas has come at a cost with inspirational skipper Joseph Tapine and try-scoring machine Xavier Savage facing time on the sidelines after they were charged by the match review committee.
Tapine was hit with a grade 2 shoulder charge offence and can accept a two-match ban if he takes the early guilty plea, while he risks an extra week on the sidelines if he fights it and loses at the judiciary.
The Raiders skipper was sent to the sin bin for his shot on Mitchell Barnett in the second half of their 30-8 win over the Warriors.
