Canberra Raiders forwards Hudson Young and Morgan Smithies, along with Wests Tigers outside back Jeral Skelton, have all been charged by the NRL's match review committee for offences during a closely contested Round 16 game on Friday night.

According to zerotackle.com, the match ended with the Tigers narrowly losing by four points, despite being down 16-0 at halftime.

Young received a Grade 1 dangerous contact charge for an incident in the first half where he elbowed Tigers forward Alex Twal in the head.

The elbow resulted in a cut to Twal, similar to a recent incident involving New South Wales winger Zac Lomax and Queensland forward Trent Loiero.
