The NRL's match review committee has delivered penalties to three players following the Sunday afternoon double-header.
In the opening match, the Gold Coast Titans triumphed over the Manly Sea Eagles, securing a thrilling 38-32 victory at home.
Despite the Sea Eagles racing to a 10-0 lead within minutes, they struggled to maintain momentum, making costly mistakes that ultimately cost them dearly.
Titans' Dean Ieremia marked a significant milestone by scoring his first try in 765 days, having had limited appearances since 2024 with the Melbourne Storm.
This celebrated moment was overshadowed as Ieremia faced a report for a dangerous hip-drop tackle on Tolutau Koula, resulting in a grade 1 dangerous contact charge along with a $750 fine for an early guilty plea.
Koula appeared to be in considerable pain following the foul at the 68-minute mark but remarkably managed to stay in the game, scoring a spectacular long-range try just ten minutes later.
In the second match, the Dolphins took on the North Queensland Cowboys, securing a 36-16 win that marked their return to form.
This victory was particularly significant for the Dolphins, who had endured a disastrous 66-0 loss against the Cronulla Sharks in Round 19, one of two hefty defeats at Redcliffe this year.
Determined to bounce back, the NRL's newest expansion team understood the need to start strong to keep pace with a confident North Queensland side.
