Merely a nibble. It's a real shame that play was stopped so quickly. Proctor could have slowly worked his way up the arm, ground announcer quickly throws on some Barry White and we could have seen some real action.

Didnt Proctor claim that he couldnt breathe because Johnsons forearm was around his throat?

If thats the case automatically you open your mouth the catch a breath. Johnsons forearm just happened to be there.

There's only 2 people who really know what happened in this case.

Forearm was never near his throat.

Myth.

If Proctor closes his mouth when Johnson's arm is in it, there is no issue. Why did he choose to keep his mouth open, then proceeded to perform a biting action in actually raising the skin of Johnson's forearm is a mystery.

And Proctor's defence of choking won't convince the judiciary when that act constitutes pressure around the neck.

If you make up a good story and arm yourself with strong legal representation the judiciary will believe anything you tell them.

The only reason I can think of why Mal and Tallis and are supporting Proctor is because they intend to resign him.

just keep your mouths shut, let him get banned for the rest of the season and he can drift off into obscurity in the super league

funny how so many people can watch the same incident and have so many different views of what actually happened
