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.

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.
