Sydney Roosters prop Lindsay Collins has been offered a one-game ban for a high shot on Gold Coast's Corey Thompson.

Sydney prop Lindsay Collins could be set for a week on the sideline after being offered a one-match ban by the NRL's Judiciary.

Collins hit Gold Coast winger Corey Thompson with a shoulder charge in the first half of his sides' clash on Saturday and can accept a one-game ban or risk a second match if he fights the suspension.

The hit, classified as a grade two offence, was initially deemed legal and Thompson was judged to have knocked the ball on, before the bunker intervened and put Collins in the sin bin.

Thompson remained on the field.

It's one negative to come from an otherwise pleasing day for the Roosters, having smashed the Titans 44-16.

North Queensland's Tom Gilbert has been offered an $1800 fine for a high tackle on Newcastle's Mat Croker.

It was deemed a grade one offence, and would increase to a $2500 fine with an unsuccessful challenge.
