Raiders' Tapine faces two-week NRL ban

Canberra forward Joseph Tapine has been hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge from Saturday's NRL win over Canterbury.

Canberra forward Joseph Tapine is facing a maximum two-game NRL ban for dangerous contact in Saturday's win over Canterbury.

Tapine was on Sunday hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge for his incident with Bulldogs hooker Michael Lichaa in the first half at Belmore Sportsground.

An early plea would usually result in a one-game suspension, however Tapine carries 85 points which would mean he risks being rubbed out for two matches.
