6.58pm - Ghabar said that Gamble was not present to follow through with his onfield complaint and questioned his motive.

“Canberra was leading by 20 points. Bear in mind this was the opposition’s best player," he said.

"Whether it was a sin bin or send off, he was seeking to gain an advantage."

That's quite the defence. "He lied about what we all saw live to help them win"

Sounds like Lionel Hutz is defending simple Jack.

You mean "it didn't happen, they lied to get a player sent off" wasn't a convincing argument?

Typical south's player

Wouldn't see good natured Raiders players engaged in such thuggery

Wighton took a gamble and sunk his teeth into the opposition but it looks like he won’t taste victory tonight.

I didn't tag you in the post as I assumed you were busy defending him.

So the NRL have now officially sanctioned as a tactic shoving your arm into a player’s open mouth to get teeth marks on your arm, making a false biting allegation and getting a player sent off and suspended.

It’s going to happen every week now.

Classic shit from a Souffs grub
Shoulda thrown the book at him


In all honesty though, that's some weak shit. Big time fence sitting sentence. If they felt with conviction that he bit the bloke, why is it 3 weeks and not 8-10?
If they didnt feel strongly enough that he did actually bite him, why is it anything?

You either think he bite him or you didnt. If you do, send him packing good and proper, and if you dont, let him go.
This feels like a "maybe he bit him? IDK... *shrugs* 3 weeks and we'll call it a day"

Now the question is, which watch list is he being added to after the verdict?

 

[skeepe]

What an absolutely disgusting decision by the NRL.

There was no biting action. Gamble didn’t want to testify or make a statement. How the f**k can you determine guilt based on that?

Wighton should appeal. And he’ll win.

Pretty shit tactic. It didn't even result in a penalty.
