The NRL's match review committee has charged five players on Sunday to round out the regular season of the competition.
The Parramatta Eels travelled to Wollongong to face the St George Illawarra Dragons in a final hit-out for both sides to mark the end of disappointing 2026 campaigns.
It was a fairytale finish for the departing Dragon Tyrell Sloan, who slotted a 40-metre field goal to claim victory for the last time in Red V colours.
Four players were pulled up during the match, including Blake Lawrie, who was sinbinned and placed on report for a shoulder charge on Dylan Walker off a kick-off.
Recent reports are indicating Lawrie has signed a three-year deal with an English Super League club for 2027, meaning he won't serve the two-match suspension handed to him by head office.
The situation is similar to former Sea Eagles forward Toafofoa Sipley, who tried to have his charge overturned at the end of last year, but resulted in an escalated four-match ban that he only served for one match before heading to Warrington Wolves for 2026.
Meanwhile, Jack Williams was pulled up for a hip-drop tackle on Valentine Holmes after he collected an attacking kick and was thrown back into the in-goal in the seventh minute.
Holmes got up grimacing in pain and shortly left the field in discomfort, with Williams left with a $1800 fine at an early plea.
After the subsequent drop-out, Kyle Flanagan was deemed to have repeated the same offence on Tallyn Da Silva, but not penalised at the time.
Flanagan will receive a $1000 fine for his grade 1 dangerous contact charge on the Eels hooker.
Sloan was placed on report for rubbing his elbows on Mitchell Moses's face after he caught an attacking bomb five minutes from half-time.
Similar to Flanagan, he received a $1000 fine at an early plea, which will be elevated to $1500 if he contests the charge and loses.
Elsewhere, the Penrith Panthers wrapped up the minor premiership, making light work of the Wests Tigers in a 38-10 victory to finish Round 27.
Isaiah Papali'i was in the bad books when he hip-dropped Jahream Bula in the closing minutes of the match, and was placed on report and given a $1000 early plea fine for his troubles.
He will be free to continue in the Panthers' assault for a fifth title in six years.
Cowboys star forward Reuben Cotter will face the judiciary for a Grade 2 careless high tackle charge against him occurring on Saturday.
If he successfully downgrades the charge, he will be free for the club's elimination final against the Cronulla Sharks on Saturday.
If he fails to do so, he will be suspended for two matches.
