The news of a biting allegation has cast a shadow over Hull KR's impressive 36-4 victory against Catalans Dragons, propelling them to the top of the Betfred Super League once again.

The match, which saw Elliot Minchella, Ryan Hall, and Kelepi Tanginoa scoring two tries each, was full of gritty tackles and fierce competition.

However, it was Mikey Lewis' claim that he was bitten by Cesar Rouge that stole the spotlight at Elland Road during the Magic Weekend clash.

The hullabaloo began in the 57th minute when Hull KR's scrum-half Lewis found himself in a heated exchange with Catalans' full-back Rouge.

Lewis, in a display of courage for his teammate Jez Litten, stood his ground and tried to shove away the French international, only to allegedly fall victim to a biting incident.

Referee Tom Grant promptly put the matter on report, leaving it in the hands of the Match Review Panel for further investigation on Monday.

In true rugby league spirit, Lewis expressed his disappointment at the unsportsmanlike behavior, stating that biting has no place in the game.

Despite the drama, Hull KR's victory showcased their determination and skill, reminiscent of legendary battles from Rugby League history.

As the Super League season unfolds, fans can expect more fierce competition and nail-biting moments, as teams fight tooth and nail for supremacy on the field.
