The NRL's match review committee has handed fines to two emerging forwards following the events of Friday night.
In the earlier match, the Dolphins visited Brookvale to disrupt Manly's fluctuating 2026 campaign.
Manly had significant stakes, including the need to keep their season alive, celebrating star centre Tolutau Koula's 100th NRL appearance, along with the quest for the club's 1000th victory.
It turned out to be a total shut-out on the Northern Beaches, where the Dolphins cruised to a 22-0 win, effectively concluding the Sea Eagles' season, which had shown initial signs of promise.
Newly contracted prop Simione Laiafi found himself penalized within the first 10 minutes for a high tackle on Connelly Lemuelu.
The MRC classified it as a grade 1 careless high tackle, leading to an early plea of $1000 for Laiafi.
The promising Tongan forward has the option to contest this charge, but failing to do so will result in an increased fine of $1500.
In another incident, Lemuelu was involved once more, this time concerning his actions against Manly fullback Clayton Faulalo, which went unnoticed during the game.
