Parramatta and NSW enforcer Junior Paulo might be on report for a cannonball tackle, but his coach doesn't think he has a case to answer.

Paulo appears unlikely to cop a lengthy ban that would keep him out of State of Origin's series opener in two weeks, despite leaving Canberra prop Joe Tapine requiring medical attention after hyperextending his knee.

He's one of two players from the Eels' 26-18 loss to the Raiders who'll be checking the judiciary's charge sheet on Sunday morning and assessing their Origin eligibility.
