Jordan Rapana is facing a three-game ban for a shoulder charge in a major blow to the Canberra Raiders in the wake of a season-opening loss in Townsville.
The Raiders winger was lucky to stay on the field for a 28th minute shoulder charge on North Queensland's Dally M contender Scott Drinkwater during their round one clash on Saturday.
But Rapana's luck might just run out with his third offence leaving him staring down the barrel of a three-game ban with an early guilty plea.
