That's what I liked. I hate it when your watching a perfectly good game of rugby and S&E keeping talking about a bit of foul play, forward pass or bad PTB that was missed.

I know you didnt make this and took it from somewhere else but people have way too much time on their hands! It does look as if he bit him and its Slaters word against Jammers unfortunately. Graham did right by rushing in to help his team mate after seeing another Melbourne player come into the scuffle but after he poleaxes Slater to the floor he should have done with it and left him on his sorry backside.

The Aussie media of course was all over it, imagine if Tolman had done it, would there be the mass furore? It writes its own headline in their media. Some papers had this sat next to Tyson on Holyfield! Morons!

In an independent National Rugby League judiciary id expect Jammer to be flogged and sent back on a ship to where he belongs, that or given probably 8 games and not get paid for quite some time. It wasnt half as bad as Brad Morrins chomp on Tahu and that copped 8 games.

Very poor from an outstanding player who now has a reputation that he could have done without. I cant imagine what Canterbury are saying about this off the record and behind closed doors.

I don't want my club allegence to bias my veiws, but surely if someone like James Graham bit you ear in anger, it would look worse than this?

To say that the coverage is so big because Graham is English is ridiculous. Had anyone done it would have been the same coverage. He has bitten someone in clear view on one of the biggest games in the sport which was being screened to nearly 4 million people in Aus alone. The media coverage of the NRL grandfinal is blanket in NSW and QLD, and would have had a decent share in Melbourne due to the Storms participation.

I'd call this bite even worse then Morrins, he has gone in quite hard near the face. How anyone can claim that he hasn't intentionally tried to bite Slater are insanely deluded.

It's worse than Morrin's. He bit Tahu's arm and it was a spur of the moment thing because Tahu's arm was in front of him and he reacted to the tackle. Graham went looking for Slater when he wasn't involved and appeared to attack his ear in a sustained fashion. Morrin copped a pasting in the media as well and his suspension basically ended his first grade career, given that he was a fringe first grader as it was. An eight week (what Morrin got) ban won't ruin Graham's career. A 12 week ban probably won't either. But that's about what he'll get because a. it was worse, and b. the judiciary is harsher now than ever.

What are you talking about?

You can clearly see him biting his ear! Both stood up and on the floor.

Just because Slater's injury doesn't look as bad as Hollyfields doesn't mean the intent wasn't there.

That is not the mark of someone who has just had his ear intentionally bit by a 17 stone bloke, I was expecting it to be hanging off after reading this thread.

You're right he probably did it in the pre game chess tournament.

"Any suspension of greater than two weeks would rule him out of England's two end-of-season Tests against Wales and France, neither of which could be counted towards his NRL ban" Don't really understand the logic here, if he's unavailable through suspension the games should count, if they don't count towards a suspension he should be free to play. Can't have it both ways surely? news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sp ... 26ul7.html

He is a soft scouse get. An 18 stone bloke doesn't need to bite a weed to get his message across. Coward. A typical response that you would expect from a fat ginger kid who is being bullied.

Now I've seen the photos of Slater's ear, I'm not sure what the big deal is.
It certainly isn't a bite as far as I can see.

Looks more like a cut from a punch or at worst a bang from a tooth when heads clash.

Maybe he's got rubber teeth?

the sydney morning herald are reporting that he'slikely to recieve the longest ban in NRL history
