Canberra captain Elliott Whitehead says fines dished out by the NRL’s judiciary are “getting outrageous” after teammate Jordan Rapana was stung for a third week in a row.

Rapana was slapped with a $ 3,000 (US$1,944) fine for an attempted trip on Selwyn Cobbo as the Brisbane winger scored a try in their 29-18 win against the Raiders, despite making minimal contact.
