I have to disagree on that one.

So you’re telling me that the refs told Graham ‘we checked and we have confirmed that you did bite him’? Didn’t happen. The difference in previous cases was not the punishment, it was the refusal to make a definitive finding that a bite had occurred.

I can't be the only one that didn't see a bite there?

i missed the match, watched about 3 or 4 replays and I’d back Proctor on this.

No fault from Johnson but his arm is jammed into Proctors face/mouth area, but I don’t see any “clamping down” by proctor.

That won’t stop the still image being used all over the place, and anti-league shows like Offsiders crowing about league controversies..

Why are you trying to put words into my mouth?
IMO Proctor definitely f**ked up, but so did Graham.
I’m happy for a bite to be a send off, but I’ve never seen that before.
If they made a change to the way they deal with bites since Graham, then so be it.
Hopefully there is clarification on it during the week.

It’s called precedence.
Greenburg’s legacy around consistency lives on.
Precedence can be over ruled by present solid evidence. The skin on Johnson's arm was lifted by Proctor's teeth. I don't know what more one can present you. It is what it is.
