Grand final shaken by biting allegation against Storm star
Melbourne Storm superstar Cameron Munster was placed on report for an alleged bite on Paul Alamoti in the 74th minute of Sunday’s NRL Grand Final.
Referee Ashley Klein stopped the game with six minutes to go following the allegations made by the Penrith centre.
Munster was placed on report but not sent to the sin bin, stating: “We can’t be certain. It is on report. We will deal with it later.”

Channel Nine commentator Mat Thompson added: “The referee actually is saying we can’t prove anything, there is no penalty so play will continue as normal.”
Meanwhile, Andrew Johns noted “some will say he shouldn’t have had his arm there. But it is irrelevant.”
The incident drew comparisons to a similar one involving Dragons five-eighth Kyle Flanagan and Stephen Crichton earlier this season, which saw the former Panther accuse Flanagan of biting him.
Flanagan was suspended for five weeks as a result of the incident.
