NRL head of football Graham Annesley has admitted the league does not have a blanket send-off rule over alleged biting incidents, after Raiders star Jack Wighton was allowed to remain on the field on Sunday.
Wighton was referred directly to the judiciary on Monday morning after Knights five-eighth Tyson Gamble told referee Ashley Klein he'd been bitten by the departing Raiders star during Sunday's elimination final.
Annesley was quizzed over why Wighton was allowed to remain on the field, while NRLW star Ashleigh Werner was sent off for a similar incident in July, and clarified the league's position.
