No bite ban
Reporter: Matthew Chambers
Date published: 03 September 2008
NO CHARGE resulted from an alleged bite by Workington's James Richardson on Neil Roden at Boundary Park two weeks ago.
The incident, late on in Oldham's 40-16 win, produced the following judgement when reviewed by the RFL disciplinary panel:
"Whist it appears that there may have been some contact between mouth and arm, the Oldham player put his arm over the Workington player's mouth (rather than the Workington player seeking out the arm) and the player should be given the benefit of the doubt that any contact was accidental."
