Dragons player Madison Bartlett cops suspension for bite
St George Illawarra winger Madison Bartlett has been banned for one NRLW game for biting an opponent on the arm.
Bartlett was referred straight to the judiciary for the incident. She plead guilty, and tonight was suspended for one game by the panel after they deliberated for an hour.
The Dragons star was charged for biting the arm of Parramatta five-eighth Sereana Naitokatoka during Sunday's rain-soaked Round 2 clash at Wollongong's WIN Stadium.

The Dragons had forced a dropout, when Bartlett carried the ball back and was met by Naitokatoka and another Eels player.
While on the ground, Bartlett bit the arm of the tackler (watch the video above).
The Eels complained to the referee a short time after the incident, and Bartlett was cited.
She will miss this week's clash with Brisbane, but will be available for their Round 4 game against the Knights the following week.
