Raiders duo Joseph Tapine and Josh Papalii have entered early guilty pleas over incidents in Sunday's loss to the Dragons, with Tapine copping a two-match suspension for a shoulder charge on Matt Dufty.
With two prior offences within the past two seasons and 85 carryover points to his name, Tapine will miss two matches. He would have risked a possible three-match suspension if he fought the charge at the judiciary and lost.
Meanwhile Papalii has been fined $1350 over a grade on careless high tackle, also on Dufty.
Earlier Melbourne's Curtis Scott received a two-match ban for a grade three striking charge on Manly's Dylan Walker, while Sea Eagles hooker Apisai Koroisau was suspended for one match for striking Scott.
