In a clash of the Titans and Panthers on Friday night, the rugby league world was left reeling as both Moeaki Fotuaika and Liam Martin found themselves in hot water.
The Titans prop and Panthers second-rower were sin binned during their respective games, leading to potential suspensions looming over their heads like a dark cloud.
Fotuaika's Grade 2 careless high tackle charge in the Titans' brutal 44-0 loss to the Cronulla Sharks has left Des Hasler's side shaken and stirred.
The Queensland Maroons prop's first half tackle on Cameron McInnes saw him temporarily sidelined, and he now faces missing the next showdown against the St George Illawarra Dragons if he chooses to accept his fate with an early guilty plea.
A trip to the judiciary could result in further punishment, potentially impacting the Titans' clash with the Sydney Roosters in Round 25.
Meanwhile, Martin's sin binning during Penrith's high-scoring victory over the Parramatta Eels added a layer of drama to the game.
The Panther's second-rower will need to navigate the disciplinary process to determine his availability for future matches, a challenge that could test his mettle on the field.
