BULLDOGS forward Brad Morrin will front an NRL judiciary hearing after the match review committee decided to let the panel of former players decide his fate over a biting charge.

Morrin has already acknowledged biting Parramatta centre Timana Tahu on the left arm during loss to the Eels at Telstra Stadium on Friday night.

Morrin, 25, has apologised for what he described as a "brain snap".

He said today he would continue training with the Bulldogs squad this week in the hope he can play again this season.

Morrin's contrary conduct charge has not been graded, leaving the panel with full discretion over his length of suspension.

There had been a suggestion Morrin was reacting to a head-slam from Tahu, but the Eels centre was not charged by the match review committee.
