What will go against Graham is that he came from a very long way away to have a crack at Slater. There was a lot of handbags in the incident, but out of everybody Graham looks the worse, even before the bite incident he has the biggest case to answer imo.

Slater wrestles with somebody, Keating I think, for about 5 seconds, and it looks like its(the Slater-Keating area of the handbags) about to mellow down, and James comes out of nowhere and gives Slater the biggest bloody bump you've ever seen, knocks him about 10 metres back onto his (onto some metal flooring) and I'm not a lip reader but I'm sure Graham shouts "FUCK OFF!" while making his dramatic entrance. He, Graham, was probably about the 26th man into the scuffle which is more daming

Slater gets to his feet to wrestle Graham, that's when the bite takes place.

Without that maybe Graham could have some sort of defence, however flimsy, but with the way he rushed over so late and zoned in on Slater, hitting him with the ferocity he did, I don't reckon it reflects well on him

His entrance, if you've been following Origin the last few years, was reminiscent of Thaidays notorious cowardly "3rd man in" barge on Jennings in 2010

What Graham was probably objecting to originally, which replays show didn't actually happen on reflection, was Slater looking to attack PErret on scoring a try with his knees. It looked, live, like Slater went in with the knees to hurt the try scorer. Perret didn't like it and eye-balled Slater something serious and Inu, coming in to celebrate, pushed Slater(probably thinking the same as everyone else, that Slater the grub went in with his knees) which sparked the entire incident. That'd be why Graham was ed if I'm to guess, but it doesn't look good for him.

I think he did go for the bite to be honest with you. But we'll see, he'll probably confirm soon enough whether it was a brain explosion or whether he's been caught in rugby leagues greatest conspiracy false-flag operation

I've never read so much in my life, even for this board it's a new high.

Clearly bit him and punched him on the floor.

Spot on Sheldon. He ran in late, clearly bit him and then gave a few punches to the head. www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 26trk.html Its a shame because he played really well, now his name is mud in the NRL. He got 0/10 player rating in the media after the game It is being talked about nearly as much as the games result in Oz

Perfect

Bollox eh?
Go on then make your fool proof case to prove Graham has bitten him to cause that wound?

His mouth is open next to Slaters ear. Slaters ear is bleeding after he gets up. Slater immediately calls a biting charge. It does not look that complicated, no one is questioning the complaint in the media and the Dogs refuse to talk about it. images.triplem.com.au/2012/09/30 ... 00x400.jpg

I would say the evidence is sufficient to form a reasonable belief that he did - Graham can be clearly seen gnawing on something at the side of Slater's head, who then comes up holding his ear; he immediately reports it to the official, and has a wound that appears consistent with his allegation.

I'm not sure what the burden of proof is in an NRL disciplinary setting, but I don't think that it's 'beyond reasonable doubt.' Given that, I imagine he'll be facing a lengthy ban.

Everyone knows the benefit of the doubt goes to the attacker.


Not guilty.

I assume Jammer had a gum shield in. If so it would be hard to bite properly.

I think that it can't be decided from the TV footage whether Graham did ora did not bite Slater.

On one side
[* Graham has his head at the side of Slater[/*
[* Slater has a wound to the ear.[/*
[* Slater tells the officials that he was bitten.[/*[/list

However, on the other side
[* Graham would have been wearing a gumshield.[/*
[* The wound, pictured on page 4 of this thread, looks nothing like a bitemark and only the middle of the ear is affected, not the outside. Graham would need to be half-vampire to leave that sort of mark.[/*
[* Graham was seen a couple of weeks ago near the ear of King, but he was just riling King up (to great effect).[/*[/list

Look this this image that appeared on another forum (I didn't make it)[/

Arrow 1. The referee is right next to this but did not report any sort of bite.
Arrow 3. Melbourne's #4 is pushing Graham's head into Slater.



So, overall, it's difficult to say. Whilst it looks suspicious, there is a lot of evidence to suggest otherwise. I'll leave it to the NRL judiciary to make the decision before I consider slagging him off.
If he is guilty then he deserves all this derision and a lengthy ban.
If he is found innocent then I expect that all of you will be queueing up to apologise.

Looked like he bit him to me.

Why does every body think they're ing Quincy?

People defending the indefensible again.

The title of this thread "Jammer lets himself down" is a small part of what he has done.

He has let his team down, the Storm moved up a gear after this incident just as the Dogs were looking like getting back off the deck.

He has let all of his new Aussie followers in the NRL down (Some Dogs fans are calling for his sacking) Graham had a massive following of Aussie admirers for his first season efforts and they all just walked out of the door.

He has let the game down in general, Alleged Biters and Eye gougers do not sell well to Parents deciding which code to send their kids into.

Running in last man, blind siding a player 30kgs smaller is enough without biting him.

It will be 10-12 weeks for this.
