Eels Star Referred to NRLW Judiciary Over Biting Allegation
Parramatta Eels star has been referred to the NRLW judiciary after being slapped with a biting charge in the aftermath of a fiery clash over the weekend. The incident, which occurred during the Eels’ most recent NRLW fixture, has sparked heated debate across the rugby league community.
The charge stems from an alleged biting incident involving an opposing player during a physical tackle. Match officials reviewed the footage before forwarding the matter to the judiciary, leaving the Eels sweating on the availability of one of their key players as the finals race intensifies.
The NRLW judiciary is expected to convene this week, where the player will have the opportunity to defend themselves against the serious allegation. A guilty verdict could lead to a multi-match suspension, significantly impacting Parramatta’s campaign as they look to climb the ladder in the closing rounds of the season.
Parramatta Eels head coach Steve Georgallis has yet to make an official comment but confirmed the club will provide full support to the player throughout the process. The incident has also reignited discussions around on-field discipline and the scrutiny placed on high-contact situations in the women’s competition.
With the Eels fighting to secure momentum, the outcome of this judiciary case could have major ramifications for both the club and the wider NRLW. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely as the hearing unfolds.
