Jack Wighton, Joe Tapine and Corey Horsburgh were all put on report, but the most concern is around Wighton given his importance to the team. A team that sits second last on the NRL ladder.
Plus the fact Manly back-rower Karl Lawton was offered a five-game suspension - four with an early guilty plea - for a dangerous tackle on Cameron Murray on Friday night.
Wighton's dangerous tackle on Warriors fullback Reece Walsh in the first half wasn't anywhere near as bad as Lawton's, but the severity of the sanction would be enough to make Raiders officials nervous.
On Sunday morning Wighton was dealt a grade-two charge. An early plea would to keep him sidelined for two matches and should he roll the dice and fight the charge and be found guilty, he'd cop three matches.
The Dally M Medal winner has been arguably the Raiders best player so far in a disappointing season and his loss would be a massive blow ahead of their clash against the Canterbury Bulldogs on Friday.
Tapine was also put on report for a facial on Warriors lock Ben Murdoch-Masila, much to the surprise of NRL great Steve Roach.
"If you're on report for a facial - that'll do me," he said in the Fox League commentary.
Horsburgh was cited for a high shot on Warriors prop Matt Lodge - which led to the match-levelling penalty. It was an incident many observers didn't think was a penalty, let alone a report.
Tapine and Horsborough escaped a charge by the match review committee though.
Wighton felt he would be OK, with the belief he hadn't tipped Walsh beyond the horizontal - something Lawton definitely did with his tackle on Murray.
"I think it'll be fine mate. I don't think he went past the vertical. We'll have to wait and see also though," Wighton said after the game.
Raiders continue to fade
It's a moniker all Canberrans despise - the Faiders. But unfortunately it's an apt one.
And it's one that's starting to heap the pressure on Raiders coach Ricky Stuart and his under-performing team - their fifth loss in a row has put them within points differential of bottom of the ladder.
Stuart will be desperate to turn things around in the same way he has done with his beloved Green Machine in the past.
The Raiders have failed to score in the second half in their past three games - against the Warriors, the Penrith Panthers and the North Queensland Cowboys.
They also failed to score in the second half against Manly and the Cowboys - in their first meeting up in Townsville.
Canberra completed their sets at 86 per cent in the first half, with that falling to just 56 per cent in the second.
They committed nine errors after half-time and just three before it as they slowly let the Warriors back into the game.
Questions will start to be asked about the team's fitness under new head of physical performance Jeremy Hickmans given their propensity to fall away after the break - regardless of whether fitness is the issue or not.
