Jordan Rapana jokes he'll be tackling opponents around the ankles for the rest of his career when he returns from his latest NRL suspension.

Fresh from completing a three-game ban for a shoulder charge that flattened North Queensland fullback Scott Drinkwater, Canberra winger Rapana admitted he was "filthy" with himself for letting his teammates down as they slipped to 1-3 for the season.

for the first time since joining the club as a teenager.

It comes after he dodged a question about his future in an interview following the Raiders’ Round 3 win over the Sharks.
