Rapana backs Proctor ahead of biting charge
« on: August 18, 2020, 12:17:52 PM »
Canberra Raiders winger Jordan Rapana says biting just isn't in Kevin Proctor's nature. The fellow New Zealand internationals grew up on the Gold Coast together, attended the same high school and have represented the Kiwis together. While Rapana didn't see the incident on Saturday - he was having a pre-game nap before the Raiders' emphatic win over the Brisbane Broncos - he firmly believed the Gold Coast Titans captain didn't bite Cronulla half Shaun Johnson. Proctor became the first player in NRL history to be sent off for biting in the Sharks' win over the Titans on Saturday. But video footage is inconclusive - it's clear Johnson's arm was in Proctor's mouth, but it's unclear whether the latter actually bit his fellow Kiwi tackled him around the neck and head.
