    Owen Pattie faces a potential two-game ban, impacting the Raiders during a crucial winning streak.

    The Canberra Times

    The Canberra Raiders have been dealt a massive blow by the match review committee and it couldn't come at a worse time.

    Owen Pattie faces up to a two-game ban for grade-two dangerous contact on South Sydney prop Keaon Koloamatangi.

    He'll miss just one game if he takes the early guilty plea, which would mean he'll miss the clash against the Wests Tigers at Canberra Stadium next Saturday, but that doubles to two games if he fights the charge and loses.

    It's terrible timing, given the Green Machine are on a three-game winning streak and need to keep that going to have a chance of playing finals.

    The Wests Tigers are the biggest losers from Saturday night, with four players facing fines or suspension.

    Canberra Raiders dummy-half Owen Pattie was charged with a Dangerous Contact Grade 2 in the 20th minute of the match involving Keaon Koloamatangi.

    Despite it being his first offence, he will face a one-match suspension if he takes the early guilty plea, two if he challenges and loses at a panel hearing.

    Raiders set timeline with long-term deal on table for Smithies

    Morgan Smithies, an England international, is attracting attention as he nears a commitment to the Canberra Raiders.

    The rugby league grapevine is buzzing again, and this time an England international is at the centre of it.

    Earlier in the year, word was spread that Morgan Smithies was on the verge of committing his future to the Canberra Raiders, effectively taking him out of the free agency market and locking him in at the club he joined back in 2024 on a three-year deal from the Wigan Warriors.

    The Halifax-born forward has added his name to a growing roll call of English forwards who have thrived in Canberra colours.

    Yet as 2027 approaches, it seems he is gaining interest from both sides of the globe.
