So at what point is blocking an air passage not considered choking?

According to the definition of choking:

1.
(of a person or animal) have severe difficulty in breathing because of a constricted or obstructed throat or a lack of air.

Is the legal definition different? Asking for a friend.

What even more laughable is the experts on NRL 360 are changing their minds from a non-bite to a bite, back to a non-bite, then back to a bite, etc, etc. :)

Such a sensational, funny, hilarious, yet serious program wrapped up in a mystery.

Perenara has said he saw a red mark, but didn’t see teeth marks.
Also that Johnson didn’t make an official complaint.
Yet he still sent him off.

That makes it worse.
How could they correlate the evidence needed to definitively prove there was a bite.
The handling of the incident by Perenara and Chiddy was very poor.

The process for biting allegations has not changed much in the last couple of decades. A player making the allegation must inform the referee saying he has been bitten and identify the problem, the referee will ask the player if they are sure if they want to go on with it. If they say "yes" then the referee calls in the nearest touch judge and they look at the alleged bite mark. The referee then is obliged to report the incident to the judiciary in a written report afterwards as to what he saw, as does the touch judge.

Meanwhile Tyrell Fuimaono is waiting up past his bedtime for this case to be heard.

Lucky we’re not in the days where you had to front up to Phillip St..

I was alluding to how could Chiddy and Perenara correlate their individual evidence to come up with a send off.
I definitely agree that it should have went on report.
I find it astounding that he was sent off.
Especially after Johnson didn’t answer the question of whether he wanted to make an official complaint.
