In a dramatic twist on the rugby league field, Penrith's premiership-winning star Paul Alamoti accused Cameron Munster of sinking his teeth into him during Sunday's grand final clash.
However, after the final whistle blew, Alamoti's tune changed as he chose to keep mum on the biting allegations.
The stormy encounter between Penrith and Melbourne took a bizarre turn when Munster was put on report for allegedly taking a nibble at Alamoti's arm, which was wrapped around his face.
Referee Ashley Klein couldn't confirm the incident definitively, leading to Munster avoiding any charges from the NRL judiciary due to lack of concrete video evidence.
While biting incidents are a big no-no in the rugby league world, with past bans handed out to players like Kyle Flanagan, Munster vehemently denied the accusations and the NRL backed him up.
Proving his innocence, Munster argued his case to Klein, who ultimately decided to just put it on report and move on.
Alamoti, faced with the weight of the situation, ultimately decided against pursuing the biting claim post-match.
It seems like a case of bite or no bite, the heat of the moment may have just gotten the better of the players in this fierce grand final showdown.
