Canberra could be without three of their best players for their NRL preliminary final in two weeks.

Raiders winger Jordan Rapana and lock Joe Tapine were put on report while Nick Cotric was injured, during their 12-10 win against the Melbourne Storm on Saturday.

Rapana was reported for a lifting tackle on Cameron Munster and Tapine was accused of a chicken wing tackle on Brandon Smith.

Canberra and NSW winger Cotric accidentally copped a boot to the face while trying to tackle fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen in the first half.

The NSW Blues representative broke his nose and failed a head injury assessment. He didn’t return to the game.

Raiders centre Joey Leilua wasn’t able to start the game after he injured his eye while running on to the field through fireworks.

Medical staff were able to remove a piece of black pyrotechnic shell from Leilua’s left eye and he played off the bench.

The Raiders were at full strength heading into the game, with Hudson Young (suspended) the only one of their best 17 players who was unavailable.

Canberra host the preliminary final in two weeks.
