<p>Canberra captain Joe Tapine is among three Raiders charged from Sunday's <a href="https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/56...nning-streak-with-victory-at-go-media-stadium">win over the Warriors in New Zealand</a>, after which coach Ricky Stuart warned against trying to punish aggression out of rugby league.</p>
<p>The Raiders' aggressive style, particularly through the middle of the field with their powerful forward pack, has sparked them in multiple games this year, including a controversial Magic Round win over Melbourne and the 16-10 victory over the Warriors that sent them into second spot on the ladder.</p>
<p>Kiwis star Tapine was among the chief antagonists at Mt Smart Stadium, put on report for a crusher tackle and a shoulder charge, and mocking the Warriors with a crying gesture after a penalty.</p>
<p>After the game, Stuart rejected suggestions his team overstepped the mark with their aggression.</p>
<p>"We keep getting told this game's about entertainment, and that was an entertaining game tonight," he said in the post-match press conference.</p>
<p>"We can't discipline aggression because our game and broadcasters promote aggression. We've got to be real careful that we don't scrutinise aggressive actions in a game that is moulded on pure aggression and passion.</p>
<p>"On Wednesday night, we've got one of the most special games in our calendar happening and it has created its profile and culture and passion, Origin, through aggression</p>
<p>"I'm not at all promoting foul play. I'm dead against foul play. I've said before, you get a lot of accidental high shots with the speed and intensity of our game and there's a penalty given. I get that, that's fine.</p>
<p>"But don't go penalising with match review committees, we can't go willy-nilly bashing players for aggression because you need it in our game. If we want to keep calling ourselves an entertaining game and getting the broadcasters' money, then aggression's a big part of it."</p>
<p>Tapine was cited over a shoulder charge on Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and can accept a $3,000 fine with an early guilty plea or risk a two-match ban if he goes to the judiciary.</p>
<p>It was Tapine's second such charge against the Warriors this year, after accepting a two-match ban for a round-one shot on Mitch Barnett.</p>
<p>Unlike his captain, Tom Starling is set for a stint on the sidelines this time after being hit with a grade-two dangerous contact charge for a late tackle on Chanel Harris-Tavita that sent Starling to the sin-bin for the final few minutes of the game.</p>
<p>Starling can accept a one-week suspension or risk two games if he fights and loses, while Corey Horsburgh can accept a $1800 fine for the tackle on Marata Niukore that saw him sin-binned, and Warriors prop Jacob Laban can take a $1000 fine for his dangerous contact charge on Horsburgh.</p>
