Canberra winger Jordan Rapana is facing up to a four-game ban for his shoulder charge on Scott Drinkwater in the 19-18 loss to North Queensland.

While the hit was charged as a grade one, Rapana’s poor record at the judiciary in the past year means he cannot accept a fine and will instead cop a three-game ban with an early guilty plea. This is the 33-year-old’s third shoulder charge offence.

The NRL has also come down hard on Cronulla co-captain Wade Graham, who is facing up to four games on the sidelines for his high shot on South Sydney’s Davvy Moale.

Jordan Rapana is staring down the barrel of a three-game ban for a brutal shoulder charge as a teammate rushes to his aid to declare the Canberra Raiders winger is not "a grub".

Rapana was lucky to stay on the field after a 28^th minute shoulder charge on North Queensland's Dally M contender Scott Drinkwater during the Raiders' agonising one-point loss in Townsville on Saturday.

But Rapana's luck might have run out with his third offence leaving him facing a three-game ban with an early guilty plea. The 33-year-old would be suspended for four matches should he fight the charge and lose.
