Fuifui Moimoi cleared

[Stormwarning[c]]

Just through that Moimoi has been cleared

[Super Cronk]

expected i guess. unless you have footage of the teeth entering the skin then you got no chance of proving it.

[Blitzkrieg]

Took the jury less than 5 min to reach a verdict...*edit* after a hearing that went for about an hour

WTF ???How what defence did they use? was it one from Dennis the menace, I can hear it now, "It wouldn't have happened if Melbourne weren't in the Comp, they don't have support so it just didn't happen!!!!!!!!!!" Wonder what would have happened if it was White4 MOIMOI complained about???? I know Ian Donnelly got of the gouging charge but there was clear vision on that one his fingers never went near his eyes.  Did they use the grapple tackle defence?? He couldn't breath and he panicked.  Next time some one spear tackles one of our players are they going to defend it saying that they were grapple tackled????? Rant Finished now

I hope this doesn't bring any heat onto Whitey for his now-unfounded allegation.

I couldn't see much biting going on in the tackle, but I guess the bruise on his arm was a sign that something weird was happening.

Brett, like every player knows it is a serious allegation to make and IMO he wouldn't have made it if it didn't concern him.  He is a no nonsene player who just gets on with the game.  Can the board then explain to me, if you don't believe Brett White then where did the mark on his arm come from?? the false tooth fairy.

Lack of evidence, ie video shots, does not mean it did not happen just that White's claims cannot be substantiated.

[Super Cronk]

yeh doesnt mean it didnt happen...only it cant be proven. is it just a coincidence that whites arm was near fuifui's mouth then white gets up with a amrk accusing moimoi of biting?

I have no doubt that the mark on Brett's arm came as a result of that tackle and  was a result of MoiMoi's open gob.

However, I don't think that MoiMoi wanted to bite Whitey; more that his open mouth, mixed with Brett's arm on top of it, mixed with a force propelling the two together (ie the tackle and the ground) caused it to happen. If I had my mouth open, someone's arm in it, another person on top of us both and we all fell to the ground, there would be enough force involved to cause a bruise on their arm without my jaw needing to 'bite'.

So, yeah, make of that what you will. I don't think anyone lied, I just think that it was a complex thing that happened. Also, Moimoi's reaction after the incident did not look like one of someone that intentionally bit anyone.

Point taken, I would like to think that MOIMOI is no the next Hoppa

If any one can find the image there is one from high up in the stands that was shown on Nine and Fox that showed two marks on Whites arm.

About the distance of a set of teeth when a mouth is open.

Also remember that White spoke to both the Runner and Geyer before speaking to the Ref about the issue and both said that he will have to back up the claim and that if he was certain that it happen then report it.

[Super Cronk]

SW ...i think it is 99% probable that he did bite him....but they cant prove it. ild go as far as saying he definately bit him. but without more evidence they cant do anything about it.

Today is April 1st, isn't it?

sadly it's not TC, how could he get off White clearly had bite marks on his arm.  Hoppa never bit anyone unlike that Parramatta scum.
