Manly forward Toafofoa Sipley's season could be over after he was charged with dangerous contact for a wayward tackle on Dragons enforcer David Klemmer.
Meanwhile, Nelson Asofa-Solomona escaped a ban for a high shot on Mark Nawaqanitawase to cap off what was a horror night for the Storm prop.

Manly forward faces lengthy ban
The Sea Eagles look set to be without one of their best forwards as they make a desperate push for the last available position in the top-eight.
If Sipley pleads guilty, he'll miss three matches, while he'll risk a fourth if he fights the charge and is unsuccessful.
Manly host the Warriors in Round 27 in a must-win fixture which could determine whether or not they'll feature in September.
Sipley was cited following a cannonball tackle on Klemmer in the opening stages of the second half.
He was immediately penalised, and then got called out by referee Adam Gee following intervention from the bunker.
"It was moderate force and the way he comes in is high risk of injury," Gee said as he placed Sipley on report while also sending him to the sin bin.
Asofa-Solomona was charged on Friday night in the last five-minutes of his side's demolition at the hands of the Roosters.
The towering prop hit Nawaqanitawase high, however, with an early plea he will escape with a $3,000 fine.
