Canberra Raiders player Tapine faces possible suspension after shoulder charge on Warriors skipper Barnett.
Canberra Raiders star Joseph Tapine will have a nervous wait back in Australia after he was given marching orders for a shoulder charge on Warriors skipper Mitchell Barnett.
Sitting with a comfortable 20-point lead over the Warriors in the second half, the Raiders were reduced to 12 as Tapine was sent to the sin bin by referee Grant Atkins.
Atkins made the call to remove Tapine from the action after the 30-year-old came rushing out of the line in an effort to put a shot on Barnett but the hit was immediately called into question after the Warriors co-captain hit the turf at Allegiant Stadium.
