Gold Coast props Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Tuki Simpkins will be free to play in next Sunday's Queensland derby against the Dolphins despite being charged by the match review committee.

The Titans captain was placed on report in the 22nd minute and subsequently charged with a Grade 1 Shoulder Charge for his hit on Cronulla's Blayke Brailey.

He's been issued a $1500 fine with the early guilty plea; whilst Simpkins has been hit with a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle charge in the 45th minute.

He has received a $1000 fine with the early guilty plea, with both men available for selection in next week's clash despite being cited.

No pleas have been submitted at this time.
