Greg Inglis and Travis Burns could face long suspensions, while Ben Te'o and Josh Hoffman also have nervous waits. In other news from round 20:

PARRAMATTA hooker Nathan Smith (38) confirmed his billing as the cheapie of the round with a solid 80-minute performance against the Storm.

But Smith was overshadowed by another cheapie, Bulldogs back-rower Josh Jackson, who produced a brilliant 58 in almost 80 minutes as he benefited from the pre-game injury to Dene Halatau and mid-game injuries to Kasiano and Keating.

CRONULLA star Todd Carney (2) notched his worst SuperCoach score in a horror game against the Raiders. He had four errors and six missed tackles.

NEWCASTLE winger Kevin Naiqama (62) stepped up to the plate with James McManus (fractured cheekbone) on the sidelines, securing a hefty price rise with a brilliant showing against the Warriors.

NATHAN Hindmarsh (100) continued his incredible run.

DESPITE another great score, Corey Parker (76) only played 63 minutes. Forward rotation now looms as a problem for the SuperCoach colossus.

POPULAR buy Josh Mansour cashed in on his move to fullback, notching 55 all in base stats.

GLENN Stewart (67) returned from a knee injury and could be a bargain buy over the coming rounds due to some injury-affected rounds.
