Raiders' Joe Tapine charged by NRL after aggressive play in win against Warriors; team remains second on ladder.
Canberra Raiders captain Joe Tapine is one of three players charged by the NRL following their recent win against the Warriors in New Zealand.
Coach Ricky Stuart issued a pre-Origin warning, emphasizing the importance of maintaining aggression in rugby league.
The Raiders' aggressive gameplay, particularly from their formidable forward pack, has propelled them in various matches this season, including a contentious victory over Melbourne and their latest 16-10 triumph, which positioned them second on the ladder.
In the game at Mt Smart Stadium, Tapine was highlighted for his aggressive tactics, receiving on-field scrutiny for a crusher tackle and a shoulder charge.
