Kyle Flanagan had said on several occasions during the hearing he 'definitely did not bite Stephen Crichton', and also claimed he did not know a nose was in his mouth.
The Dragons are at home this weekend against the Gold Coast Titans, while the Bulldogs face the Dolphins in Bundaberg.
The Dragons five-eighth was instead adamant he was the initial victim in the incident, feeling pressured by Bulldogs defenders and poked in the eye by Crichton's nose.Canterbury captain Stephen Crichton has accused St George five-eighth Kyle Flanagan of biting him during the Bulldogs' win over the Dragons."I felt trapped and locked in. I felt like I had nowhere else to go and then I used a crocodile technique to roll over and play the ball for my team.
"At a point in time when Crichton's head was moving upward, his nose is held back and compressed in your mouth and is then released," Gyles said."The reason his nose came into your mouth was because you moved your head to the left. It was your move that put his nose in your mouth. Flanagan's father and Dragons coach Shane was not in attendance, with Kyle flanked by St George Illawarra CEO Ryan Webb and football boss Ben Haran.
