Raiders' Charge: Tapine Tackles Trouble in Vegas

Raiders gun banned after fiery clash

Joseph Tapine faces a $3000 fine for a shoulder charge, while Tom Starling risks a one-week ban.

Influential Raiders captain Joseph Tapine has narrowly avoided a ban following a shoulder charge in their recent victory over the Warriors.

While he can choose to accept a $3000 fine for his grade 1 offence, he risks a two-match suspension if he contests the charge and is unsuccessful at the judiciary.

Earlier this year, Tapine received a two-match ban for a similar offence against the Warriors in Las Vegas.

Teammate Tom Starling, however, faces a week out due to a grade 2 dangerous contact charge for a high tackle on Chanel Harris-Tavita late in the game, which resulted in him being sent to the sin bin.
