Manly are already preparing to fight any suspension Martin Taupau cops for a high shot that knocked Eels opponent Ray Stone out as Des Hasler hunts for 21 fit players to take into week one of the finals.
Taupau's sin-binning for a swinging arm on Stone was the biggest talking point in a costly 32-16 loss on Friday night, with Taniela Paseka, Curtis Sironen and Brad Parker all injured as well.
Taupau went directly to Stone's side after collecting him across the face early in the second half, with the Parramatta benchman taken from the field on a medicab.
Stone was up and about and in good spirits with no concern of a neck injury after full-time, while Manly looked ahead to Saturday's match review committee findings.
A grade 1 careless high tackle charge would see Taupau escape with a $1500 fine and able to play in next week's Brookvale Oval final, most likely against Brisbane should they defeat Canterbury as expected.
Taupau sent to sin bin for high tackle on Stone
But a grade 2 charge would require a successful challenge at the judiciary for Taupau to avoid a one-match suspension.
