Shark bite: Titans enforcer Proctor becomes first player sent off for biting

"[But] Shaun felt something, and it's Shaun Johnson – he wouldn't report something that didn't happen," said Morris, as the Sharks' 30-18 win over the Gold Coast was marred by the extraordinary incident.

"Nothing happened. Let's just leave it at that," Johnson said. "We were both heated in the middle of the game, I was a little bit high on him, whatever happened happened. We're still mates. The off-contract international became just the second player this season after Manly's Addin Fonua-Blake to be marched.

"I haven't sat down to ask Shaun exactly what has happened," Morris said. "I can't go into depth about what may or may not have occurred."It was a turning point in the game because we scored the next set and scored a couple of tries."I couldn't see the vision too much in the box. The vision I saw didn't look great, but I won't accuse Kevin of biting."Kevin will have his chance to defend himself.

Just as many players, however, have been cleared over the years, including Melbourne prop Jesse Bromwich who was accused of biting by Josh Dugan in 2015. The win for Cronulla was their seventh in nine games and a nice mental lift after their heartbreak against Parramatta at the same soggy venue just six days earlier.
