The NRL's match review committee has handed down plenty of punishments on stars during Saturday's action.
South Sydney's Latrell Mitchell and Brandon Smith were pulled up during the club's trip to the Gold Coast, with the Bunnies trumping the Titans in a 42-22 victory.
Mitchell made his return from a long-term nerve issue stemming back to Magic Round in May, coming off the interchange bench for Wayne Bennett's side.
He has received a $1000 early plea for a careless high tackle on Titans fullback Keano Kini in the 61st minute of the match.
The Indigenous superstar can fight the charge at the judiciary, but risks an elevated fine of $1500 if he loses.
Five minutes later Smith was pulled up for the same offence on Phillip Sami, and faces a $1800 fine at an early plea.
In the following match, the Dolphins shocked the Sydney Roosters at Moore Park in a 26-12 win, handing the tri-colours back-to-back losses.
Dolphins forward Thomas Flegler had the book thrown at him following a crusher tackle on Salesi Foketi
Given it was his second offence, he copped a monster $3000 fine and risks a two-match suspension if he fails in contesting the charge.
Teammate Morgan Knowles also copped a $3000 fine for a hip-drop on Robert Toia, resulting in a sin bin 12 minutes from full-time.
He faces the same fate as Flegler if he chooses to face the judiciary panel and unsuccessfully overturns the charge.
Meanwhile, Kurt Donoghue was fined $1800 for collecting James Tedesco high in the 51st minute.
In the final match of the night, the North Queensland Cowboys secured their place in the finals with a 24-10 win over the Wests Tigers.
The Tigers were up for the fight, but the Cowboys proved too strong in the second half after Benji Marshall's outfit led at half-time.
Tigers winger Junior Tupou was in hot water for a crusher tackle in the 69th minute on Cowboys edge backrower Heilum Luki, and was slapped with a $1000 fine, and will be intensified to $1500 if he chooses to take it to the judiciary and fails to downgrade.
