Hull KR scrum-half Mikey Lewis accused Catalans Dragons full-back Cesar Rouge of biting him during Rovers’ convincing Magic Weekend win over the French side.

Lewis claimed Rouge bit his hand during the second half of an emphatic 36-4 triumph at Elland Road that lifted the title-chasing Robins back to the top of Super League.

“It’s just one of those things where I’m trying to look after Jez (Litten) and I’m trying to push him off," Lewis told Sky Sports.

“My hand has ended up inside of his mouth and he’s bitten down. It’s one of those, I’m trying to push him away.

“Rugby league is a tough enough sport and to bite, it’s not in the game. I’ll let the RFL do their bit and what will be will be. I’ll just move on now.”

The matter will be investigated by the Rugby Football League, but Catalans head coach Steve McNamara strongly defended his player.

“That needs looking at. It was two blokes standing and one puts his hand in the other bloke’s mouth and pushes down on it and moves him about," McNamara said.

“You can’t have a biting allegation on that. That’s wrong.

“Cesar is pretty upset that he has been alleged to have done a bite. He has done nothing.

"He has stood there and someone has put his hand in his mouth. I’d be very surprised if any action is taken against Cesar.”
