The Sydney Roosters have today been advised that infringement notices will be issued to Willie Mason and Anthony Tupou following an incident last Saturday night.

Both the club and the players are disappointed that their actions have generated poor publicity following the good work carried out over 3 days with the community.

Both players are remorseful regarding this embarrassing situation and regret their actions.

Due to the nature of the offence the club will require both players to carry out a program of community work with the PCYC.

The matter has now been resolved and the club will not be making any further comment.

Tupou confirmed as Smith's alleged mystery biter
Wed June 20, 2007
by Matthew O'Neill
Sydney Roosters forward Anthony Tupou has been confirmed as the player Penrith lock Nathan Smith accused of biting him on the weekend.

Smith is believed to have told Sydney tabloid 'The Daily Telegraph' that a Roosters player who he refused to identify had bitten him during the Panthers narrow 24-20 loss in Saturday night's clash.

The NRL in it's weekly review of weekend action reported,

"Biting allegation raised in media by Smith against Tupou.

"Smith clearly wraps his arm around the head/face of Tupou in effecting the tackle. Contact with Tupou's mouth is initiated by Smith wrapping his arm around Tupou's face.

"Additional angles viewed of incident but difficult to identify any intentional action by Tupou.

"No evidence of biting to sustain a charge without a formal complaint.

"Panthers club contacted to request statement from player Smith regarding this incident which was declined by the player. No further action."

The NRL match review panel headed up by Greg McCallum decided not to cite Tupou for the incident or Smith for the allegations made to the newspaper.

However, the NRL through Chief Operating Officer Graham Annesley wrote to the Panthers reminding them of the ramifications of making serious allegations and not going through with them.

The NRL is very strong on issues such as biting and eye gouging when a player makes a claim in the heat of the moment or in Smith's case to a newspaper and doesn't follow through with the allegations. While Smith was happy not to take action against Tupou, the NRL does not want players to make these allegations and than later on decide to back out of the process.

While some may view Smith's actions as heat of the moment and later decides to back down. The offences of eye gouging and biting are very serious and it leaves a slur on an innocent player and in this case Tupou's even though no action has been taken.
