We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
In a recent report by raiders.com.au, it has been revealed that Jordan Rapana and Matt Timoko from the Canberra Raiders rugby league team have been charged by the NRL Match Review Committee following their loss to the Melbourne Storm.
Rapana has been charged with a grade one dangerous contact (tripping) charge on Reimis Smith during the 33rd minute of the match.
If he chooses to plead guilty early, he will be fined $3,000.
A $3000 hit to the back pocket or two weeks on the sidelines is the choice facing Jordan Rapana as the Canberra Raiders scramble to turn their season around.
Rapana will cop a $3000 fine with an early plea for dangerous contact charge after tripping Reimis Smith during an "embarrassing" 48-2 loss to the Melbourne Storm.
The Raiders flyer would be banned for two games if he fights the charge and loses.
Jarrod Croker will retire as a Raiders legend.
But if he had his way, he would be leaving the game in the same fashion as he entered first grade in 2009.
Croker's first grade debut had little fanfare and that's how he wanted it. His approach to any form of fanfare would be considered by most to be low-key. His approach is based on a 'team first' philosophy.
Despite his desire to keep it moderate, there will be plenty of fanfare around his imminent retirement at the end of this season. That is guaranteed. The celebration witnessed when he ran out for his 300th in June is a testament to this happening.
