Was watching the game, is it just me or doesnt it look like a bite?

Proctors mouth is open & doesnt close in on Johnsons arm to bite him..

Johnsons forearm does end up in Proctors mouth but the fact that Proctors mouth doesnt 'close' in on Johnsons forearm.. doesnt that mean its not a 'bite'..

I would think vision would have to show Proctors mouth close in on Johnsons arm to constitute a bite..

Bought back memories of when Brad Morrin took a bite out of TimTam Tahu. He got 8 weeks, I don't think he got sent off though

In the NRL biting someone with a mouth guard on is some how worse than knocking someone out with a swinging arm like Jack Hetherington did last week. Same ref too. The
@NRL
is the biggest CLOWN show on earth. No wonder TV ratings are in decline.

Definitely a bite, Johnson might've had his arm pressed against his mouth but you can definitely see Proctor make a little chomp and Johnson's skin pinched between his teeth.

I couldn't definitively say it was, it was a massive call from the refs.

Proctor is just an amateur when it comes to going the tooth on an opponent. He's got nothin' on former NQ Cowboy Brad Watts, who delivered what he called a 'snakebite' by biting a rival bush-footy player on the schlong!! That's competitiveness at it's most extreme lol.

TimTam? That’s a new one. I always used to refer to him as Tomato Tahu.

Roy & HG always called him that. I can't hear his name without that coming to mind.
They were awesome to listen to call matches. If you didn't know their nicknames for certain players you would have no freakin' idea what they were on about lol.

I think both were at fault TBH. It does look like a chomp, but Johnson did shove his arm in Proctor's mouth.

I think in general bites are abhorrent, but its not as if Proctor went looking for a body part to bite on... give him a low grade charge, a fine and move on.
