Biting
Bulldogs NYC player Daniel Moroko has been found guilty of biting and given a 1 match ban, his defence was that he has asthma and so needs to have his mouth open, am I the only one who sees the flaw in this argument? Biting is the act of closing your mouth upon something!
I recall a similar problem cropping up in the VFL about 10 years ago when Port Melbourne player Peter Filandia bit Springvale player (St Kilda listed) Chad Davis on the scrotum and drew blood, he got 10 weeks but I felt he should've gotten life! His defence was similar - he was running out of air (so closed his mouth?).
A stronger statement was needed here! Biting is a reprehensible act! At the very least, a year's suspension should be imposed, we don't need a Filandia type incident occuring in the NRL!

Give them a bit of time and they may be able to somehow blame this on Melbourne Storm !!!!!
