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..

Ah it's a definite bite. He def clamps down. Not as bad as Grahams

Looked more a scrape with the teeth than a bite. Either way very strange and dumb. Never seen that sort of thing be a send off in years, usually they go the "put it on report, sort it out later" route. Clear vision though that something happened.

With Johnson’s arm “jammed” into proctors face / mouth, how does Proctor get his mouth outta there without “scraping”?

Definitely strange, and Johnson’s reaction was telling, but I’m not certain he bit him at all..

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.

In order to send someone off they have to find that the thing actually happened. Did the match officials on the day make a finding that Graham had bit Slater?

That can go for any send off ever.
The match officials aren’t the judiciary.
