Raiders five-eighth Jack Wighton and winger Albert Hopoate have both been charged by the NRL match review committee following Canberra's 36-14 loss on Friday night.

Wighton made glancing, accidental head contact with Warriors winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak in attempting a tackle late in the first half.

As his third and subsequent offence Wighton faces a $3000 fine with an early plea for the careless high tackle, or risk a two-match suspension if he goes to the judiciary and loses.
