Master sledger Michael Ennis only had nice things to say about his Queensland accusers after being cleared of stomping in State of Origin I.

But the NSW hooker was brutally honest about the toll on representative players after backing up 48 hours from the Origin opener in the Bulldogs' 28-6 NRL win over Gold Coast on Friday night.

Ennis "The Menace" said it could become "dangerous" for players if there were not stand alone weekends for representative matches.

"It has come to that time - it is just dangerous in the end," Ennis said.

"Origin is so intense and then to turn around and back up 48 hours later - it is very difficult."

But Ennis did his best choir boy impersonation when asked about being accused of stomping on Queensland utility Cooper Cronk on Wednesday night.

The match review committee's decision not to take action over the incident reportedly angered the Queensland camp, further stoking the fire ahead of June 15's Origin II in Sydney.

But Ennis wouldn't bite when asked about it after the Bulldogs snapped a three-game losing run with a four-tries-to-one victory at Suncorp Stadium.

"I actually haven't seen the incident (but) a lot goes on around the ruck with legs and feet everywhere," he told AAP.

"I have moved on from that. Origin is done and dusted.

"It was a good game of footy, fingers crossed I get another game and we can turn things around."

Ennis already has enough to worry about.

He was placed on report for a high shot on Titans captain Scott Prince in the 26th minute.

"I certainly pulled out of it. Fingers crossed they see it that way, there was no malice in it," Ennis said of the tackle.

Bulldogs coach Kevin Moore was more blunt.

"Princey wrong-footed him and Mick realised he was in a dangerous position and he pulled out - it was nothing more than a slap in the face," he said.

"It was some pretty good acting from Princey."

Of more concern was Bulldogs No.7 Trent Hodkinson being placed on report for a 19th minute high shot on Steve Michaels.

Hodkinson felled Michaels with a legitimate bell ringer but then appeared to plough his shoulder into a prone Michaels' head.

"It was a bit careless but I don't think there was any malice in it," Moore said.

"Hopefully we get some good news."

While Ennis was concerned for rep players' welfare, the Bulldogs rake showed no signs of slowing down on Friday night.

He topped the tackle count with 45 and was tireless in an 80-minute effort.

"He was outstanding. I wanted to give Mick a spell at the end of the game but we didn't have any fit blokes left on the bench," Moore said.

"This year he is playing with a lot more maturity and is a leader for us."

Ennis could not get a break due to Greg Eastwood (eye), David Stagg (hip), two-try hero Frank Pritchard and Sam Kasiano (both corks).
