Dolphins star Anthony Milford could be set to serve a stint on the sidelines after an 'interesting' movement early in the first half.
Milford was placed on report by referee Adam Gee after Canberra sent a pass to the left to Seb Kris, who was taken down by Milford.
The 29-year-old appeared to use his head as pressure to take Kris down, with what at first glance appeared to be a regulation tackle quickly turning into a penalty.

Referee Adam Gee called Milford and temporary captain Jeremy Marshall-King, who took over the leadership duties from Jesse Bromwich – who was forced off the field after suffering a rib injury.
"So far we've had a good, clean game," Gee told Milford.
"That's absolute rubbish on the ground. You're on report (for) head in on the ground."
Fox League commentator Dan Ginnane described the act as Milford "using his head as a press".
A video replay later revealed the Milford had driven his head into Kris' while the pair were on the ground.
Corey Parker, a former teammate of Milford's in Brisbane, replied: "That's an, um, interesting one".
The Dolphins were penalised for his actions but he narrowly escaped time in the sin-bin.
