Jordan Rapana

Raiders star Jordan Rapana was placed on report twice for shoulder charges, while Sharks enforcer Andrew Fifita was sin-binned in his comeback match.

Rapana’s second hit ignited a melee and he was binned alongside Fifta who was playing his first game in 181 days following a career-threatening throat injury.

Maori skipper Joe Tapine was immense alongside his co-captain Kodi Nikorima, while Indigenous duo Josh Curran and Will Smith failed HIAs.

KODI STAKES CLAIM

Rapana was forced to extend his overseas stay after fracturing his cheekbone in the Four Nations final loss to Australia in Liverpool. 

While the injury didn't require surgery, the Kiwis winger was not medically cleared to fly back home due to the heightened risks associated with air travel and increased pressure. 

Great mates off the field, 'Leipana' as they have been dubbed have struck up an incredible combination on it. 

The duo have combined for an astounding 33 tries, 258 tackle breaks and 6888 metres for the Raiders in 2016.
